Альбом Third Eye Blind

I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile, like a drug for you
Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said...
I want something else, to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth, will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with the tick-tock rhythm, I bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said...
How do I get back there, to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said...
I want something else, to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right
And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive
Now I'm struggling to survive, those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress
One
And you hold me, and we're broken
Still it's all that I wanna do, just a little now
Feel myself, head made of the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down
No, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now, locked down in a smile
But nothing is all right, all right
And I want something else, to get me through this life
Baby, I want something else
Not listening when you say...
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye
The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Someplace back there, in the place we used to start
I want something else

Losing a whole year
Losing a whole year
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year
Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs
And the phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid
Losing a whole year
Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you wanna try your life with sin
You wanna be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kinda get the feeling like I'm being used
And now I realize that you never heard
One goddamned word I ever said
Losing a whole year
Losing a whole year
I took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on you face meant
I seen you pop that check
Craning your neck at the car wreck
And it always seems that the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube
And I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Hey boy
Losing a whole year
If it's not the defense then your on the attack
When you start talking I hear the Prozac
Convinced you found your place
With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace
When you were yourself there was tasting sweet
Sours into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And I don't wanna play no more
Losing a whole year
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Hey boy
Hey boy

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing
I wonder what are we fighting for
When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder is there anything
I'm going to miss
I wonder how it's going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be
When there's no one there to talk to
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in, swings empty
Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me
I wonder how's it going to be
When it goes down
How's it going to be
When you're not around
How's it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
And how's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
And how's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion oblivion
How's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
How's it going to be

I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
The angry boy a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
I wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
Well he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they're doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away
I wish you would step back from
That ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
I would understand, I would understand
I would understand, I would understand
Can you put the past away

Can I graduate, Can I graduate
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I get my punk ass off the street
I've been living on for so long
Can I graduate
To the bastard talking down to me
Your whipping boy calamity
Cross your fingers
I'm going to knock it all down
Can I graduate
Echo fading we can't let go
She goes walking by in slow mo'
Sell your heart out for a buck
Go on fade out before I get stuck
Talking to somebody like you
Do you live the days you go through
Will this song live on long after we do
Can I graduate
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I get my punk ass off the street
Won't die on the vine
I want to knock it all down
Can I graduate
Echo fading, candle blow
Did you flash out long ago
Cross my fingers, I don't know
Someone poked you down below
Can I graduate, Can I graduate
Can I graduate, Can I graduate
Can I graduate
Can I get my punk ass off the street
Can I look in faces that I meet
I'm not waiting here for you to die
Will this song live on long after we do

There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, your back on each other
You say that I changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it?
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, your back on each other
And now our friends are gone, are gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, let's turn on each other
Good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, your back on each other
What a good idea
I remember the stupid things
The mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine
Did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me no, you don't dream for me no
But I still feel you pulsing like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save
That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save
She's like a sunburn, she's like a sunburn

When we met light was shed
Thoughts free flow you said you've got something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sound, sway of your hips round rings true
It goes deep inside of you
These secret garden beams, changed my life so it seems
Fall breeze blows outside, I don't break stride
My thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
And I never felt alone, 'till I met you
Friends say I've changed, I don't listen 'cause I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide of her dress, shouts in darkness, I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you
You said boy make girl feel good
But still, deep inside, still
I've never felt alone
'Till I met you
I'm all right on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you 'cause I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you
And it's true I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me
And we were broke and didn't know
And we were broke and didn't know
And we were broke and didn't know
Something's gone, you withdraw and I'm not strong like before I was
Deep inside of you
I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare at a ghost
Deep inside of you
And some great need in me starts to bleed
I've lost myself there's nothing left, it's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you

Click your heels, feel you come for me
Care free, she's got something big to tell me
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
There's no simple way to let you know
Funny how she always cried out daddy
I got a big surprise, she said?
I'm in trouble now and it cannot wait
She's ten days late
Boy your life got complicated
Well I can't wait, to see this through
She's ten days late, ten days late
Low ride bicycles go cruising by
I laugh, I don't even know why
Talk back at the ocean
Consequence and ozone catch a glow
Oh no baby, oh, no, no
Give me a minute now to figure out my state
Oh, I know she's ten days late
And I don't know where to take it
But it's still great knowing you
She's ten days late, ten days late
Time has come for you to chose
Baby daddy keep your boo
Many blessings come to you
Baby daddy keep your boo
Baby daddy keep your boo
Baby daddy keep your boo
Your eyes look to me for what to do
I can't lie, uh, uh, I don't know
At the ocean and, talk back at the ocean
No ones laughing now what do I say
You walk away, wait, no, no don't go
At the ocean and, talk back at the ocean
Give me a minute now to figure out my state
She's ten days late
And I'm never gonna fade it
I guess I'll always be knowing you
Knowing you, knowing you
Crawl up the bedpost

Just an old friend coming over
Now to visit you and
That's what I've become
I let myself in
Though I know I'm not supposed to but
I never know when I'm done

And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor around your body glistens in the shower
And I wanna stay right here
And go down on you for an hour
Or stay and let the day just fade away
In a wild dedication
Take the moment of hope
And let it run

Never look back
At all the damage we have done now
To each other
To each other
To each other

But when I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
And I'm blinded
There's nothing left to do
and still I see you

I never believe that things that they happen for a reason
And they never go as planned
I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned
But you're past where you understand

Now her appetite is blown
Little else is known
'cept she's a little angry
Grabs a towel, looks away
The heat fades with the day
And I fall down on what to say
oh something clean, let me be clever
Hey oh well, whatever
But that's not what I mean
Where we're been has left us burnt still
I wont turn now from a fight
You know I'll never win

cos when I see you
you know all the things I've done
and I am blinded
Like I'm staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
Yeah!

(Hey! I'm Blinded!)

Time it passes and it tells us what we're left with
We become the things we do
Me, I'm a fool spent from defiance, yeah you got me but
I didn't give up on you
But the rest is not a t-shirt or a swan song, no
Heat is born again and
It's not easy being me
When I can't promise I will mend
Or bend when you believe
That we are fixed now from our birth
And I've just fallen back to earth
Still you know I'll try again
Cause I believe that we are lucky
We are golden
We have stolen manners in the days when we were one

So when I see you
In spite of all that we've become
I'm still blinded
But I'm still staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you

Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
Well I'm still staring down the sun
I'm blinded

When I see you

I close my eyes and I see a freak
I think it's me and I'm afraid to speak
So I keep on going from week to week
This way out in a lie

Dream of lives we could of had before
Heaters broke down, open doorways
Friends of yours will tell me more
What happens in your mind?

Can we try and take the high road?
Though we don't know where it ends
I wanna be your Crystal Baller
Wanna show you everything
Good

I like to make dreams in the afternoon
And I've been tuned a little speak too soon
Words jumped out of somebody's throat
What happened to the time?

A foot note in your dance club days
In my mind the record still plays
Still wonder what the fuck it says
I'm hoping there is time

Can we try and take the high road
Remember we were friends
I wanna be your Crystal Baller
Wanna be your diamond ring
Good

Can we talk about tomorrow? (some day you must awhile some days)
And the promise that it brings? (some day you must awhile some days)
Let me be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
I will show you everything (some day you must awhile some days)
Good

I wonder what the whole thing's for?
Oh!
I wonder what the whole thing's for?

When the moment you were speaking like
There must've been somebody else
And the pictures of the pub keep singing

I like to make dreams in the afternoon
And I've been tuned a little speak too soon
Words jumped out of somebody's throat
What happened to the time?

Dream of lives we had before
Heat is broke down, open doorways
Like waiting for the trick to score
It seems that way sometimes

I wonder where the will I'm going?
Homesick for your problem or
Wonder why the wind keeps blowing
You through my mind?

Can we try and take the high road (some day you must awhile some days)
Remember we were friends (some day you must awhile some days)
Wanna be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
Wanna be your diamond ring (some day you must awhile some days)

The one I never gave you (some day you must awhile some days)
And the promise that it brings (some day you must awhile some days)
Let me be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
I will show you everything (some day you must awhile some days)
Be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
Crystal Baller
Be your Crystal Baller
Crystal Baller

I couldn't believe it
Those sapphire eyes
Brilliant girl with the famous thighs
And the cameras click and then we are stars
We're laughing in the back of chauffeured cars
All the time on the phone and the voice is ours
Winter blooms with the summer flowers
I promised you what's ours is ours
Somewhere backstage with Shawn and Lars
I go crazy when you walk in the room
I laugh at myself with the girl on the film
And the taste of sex couldn't be too soon
All afternoon and
LA parties in the phony lands
Phony grabs with the manicured hands
I always thought you are pretty like a whip
I should've watched my step
Cuz I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Time ticks by, where'd you go?
You always knew where you were going to
So sweet for you, said please go with you
I see you throw down all your cards
Promises go into shards
Wait, did...did it go to my head?
We still sleep with the dogs on the bed
All these LA parties and the vodka fizz
This is not my life, or maybe it is
And I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Time ticks by, where'd you go?
Oh I make you doubt me
Oh I...You're better off without me
You better looking over your shoulder
Cuz there's someone younger and we're feeling older
You're crazy and you're never fading
Don't want to be so complicated
See my life come undone
Watch it go and let the damage run
I'd change the song now if I could
In the slickness of your blood
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
I keep forgetting myself and
I keep on forgetting myself (where'd you go?)
I keep on forgetting myself
And I keep on forgetting myself
Who am I? We both don't know
Whoa whoa whoa where'd you go?
Where'd you go now?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
Hello, hello, hello.......

I miss laying on the concrete floors
I miss the way it was before
No one even knew me
Your eyes look right through me
And I'm taking off your clothes
And you bloom like a rose

Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
Oh oh

Where the ocean meets the land
Is like the sliding of your hair
It prickles up my skin
I can feel the changing weather
I'm alone out on that coast
It sends memories of your ghost

Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
Oh oh oh

One thing that turns me off
One thing that trips me up
One thing...
One thing you'll never know
One thing I cannot show
One thing I'm never going

I go and walk alone
I found it on my own
I
I can't find release and
..
Don't know when I can go home

Through the airport corridors
See the magazines in stores
If I see that face once more
You know I can't ignore it
And I recognize that pose
When you bloom like a rose

Can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you
I can't get away from you

And with the government... another month away
Messed up places where we always stay
And it's funny that we always pick these spots
Even with the have and the have-nots
Sleeping on cots
Wishin' that I had some tater tots
And there's postcards written that I never send
The memories gone and won't come again
My the souls that find no peace
Still I look to you to find release, find release, find release

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
In lower Chelsea and I don't know
What I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That's when I knew I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I never been so alone
And I've never been so alive
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don't mind, you smile
And say the world doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you, you're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you never see it happen
And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've, I've never been so alive
And there's this burning
There is this burning
Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything but I could never do that
Someone would see through that
And this is our last time
We'll be friends again
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am
And there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone alone
And I've, and I've never been so alive
So alive
I go home to the coast
It starts to rain I paddle out on the water
Alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming to take me
Home
And I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

Used to worry for each other
No one's bothered like before
We sleep with each others friends
Sneak around, fall apart, and come back for more
We sit around drinking tables
Stabilized and keeping score
But my mind is somewhere out the door

Oh we have grown
Maybe I've overstayed awhile
In my time in exile and
Oh time has flown
And the only thing I've learned
I want a life now of my own

We go to clubs
The songs are old
The evening's blown
Go our ways
And take taxis home
Talk of Sunday outings
And medicate to fight the doubting
But know we'll always be alone

We have grown
I've overstayed awhile
In my time in exile and
Oh time has flown
And the only thing I've learned
I want a life now of my own
Of my own

That's my year spent in exile
Second guessed and dressed up in tatters
My both feet didn't take this path
And I'm still looking for a life that matters
More than chit-chat
We listen to The Streets
We're all deadbeats
And these old habits are starting to show through
Sorry I didn't get to know you

Oh time has flown
I've overstayed awhile
In my time in exile and
Oh we have grown
The one thing that I've learned
I want a life now on my own

Bye bye to the friends I've known
In my time in exile

Just give me a call
When you feel better
But you never do
And I'm just another debtor
To some palm reader
Who's got all her hands mixed up

Palm reader's breath
Smells of brandy and cigarettes
As she sells me sweet forgets
She needs something to get her through
She runs a scam like me and you
Oh yeah me and you

Freud said that love
Was a good psychosis
But I don't know
I've had too many doses
He's a creep
And we all know that
He probably made it up

Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos it's so good to believe
But you turn my hope into a weapon

I kept your sweater til the scent was gone
Bunched up in my hands
When the days were long
But I still sniff it
I walk alone on the concrete with the living

And did you stop
to gather 'round the fallen ones?
they don't know why
Neither do I
Neither do I
Neither do I
Neither do I

Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos it's so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and I
cos it's so good
But you turn my hope into a weapon

Yeah you turn my hope into a weapon

oh no oh no

There's no one to trust
Except maybe the two of us
But that's in the past
The place where i'm living
Haunted by broken dreams
I read the horoscopes in magazines
Especially yours
In the sign of a Leo
the regal ones
will mend you like your blouse so
Oh it's so slow
And when will we let me go

Let me go
Let me know
Let me go

Believe in me
And this lie
Tell me everything will be alright
Cos it's so good to believe
We could turn it all around in a night
You and I
cos it's so good
But you'll turn hope into a weapon

Yeah you'll turn hope into a weapon

We cruse high in the summer sky
I believe everything you say
'Cause you're not frightened
The way I've been so
So I follow you
Just in case you lose your way
So glad you let me stay around
The chain link fence you climbed
To make forbidden lakes our own
Yours and mine
And with ease of the sea gulls
We cut the engines and we cruise high
In the summer sky, baby
Now I could speak to everything
But there's no room for my voice
When sweet feedback
Is jumpin' through the hoop of your earring
There goes the phone
And then you're off again
On what the caller brings you
So I went and trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothin'
Thinkin' you'd be there
I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you
Who comes to take care of me
Shamblin' home again with you to lead
And it's not the way I wanna go
And I'm mad at you and I'm mad at me
Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say
Till your amber beads of wisdom come
And I want to write 'em down
Just the way you said it, oh no
So I could keep it always, always
I can't forget the smell
Of summer trees at midnight
Bendin' backwards to please the wind
You touch the tattoo of the sun
On a warm belly that once
Carried a baby for a while
Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold
Red face saints monogrammed in gold
And in this beauty
I would not go any further
'Cause I suddenly remembered
We can't live this way forever
Idle daylight, oh
I've never caught you in a lie
Not until now
I feel somehow
I felt the passing of these days goin' by
What will you do when the feeling
That you have is through
I need to know
'Cause I'll never stop hangin' on to you
And it's times like this that I dread
When there's everything to say
And nothing left
To be said
To be said
And it makes me sad

The guy who put his hands on you
Has got nothing to do with me
And the bruises that you feel will heal
And I hope you'll come around
'Cause we're missing you
And you used to speak so easy
Now you're afraid to talk to me
It's like walking with the wounded
Carrying that weight way too far
Concrete pulled you down so hard
Out there with the wounded
We're missing you
Well I never claimed to understand what happens after dark
But my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of touching you
When you're wounded
Let me break it down 'til I force the issue
We miss your face, you know I wish you
Would come back down the Dalva Bar
You tell 'em, that's just my battle scar
I want to kiss you
And knock 'em down like we used to
You're the marigold
Till you're walking down shaking that ass again
And then you walk on, baby walk on, you walk on
On and on
You're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
And we're missing you
Now it's fall, and your shoulders get tighter
Nervous flicks on your lighter, boots
Your pissed off poets, your women's groups
And the friends with you, we should have known this fool
Well I guess we missed the mark
Still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of them touching you
Now you're wounded
Let me break it down 'til I force the issue
You never come around, and you know we miss you
Well nobody took your pride away
I said, that's something people say
Back down the bully to the back of the bus
'Cause it's time for them to be scared of us
'Til you're yelling, how we're living cause you got the ball
Then you rock on baby, rock on, you rock on
On and on
You're a summer time hottie with her socks in the air
You're screaming I don't care baby, I don't care, no
You say you don't know
You say you can't grow
All I know is we're missing you, you
You say you don't know
You say you can't grow
All I know is we're missing you, you
Show up
Show up wounded
Show up
Show up wounded

Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in
Where do we begin to get clean again
Can we get clean again
I walk home alone with you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
I can't get clean again
I want to know can we get clean again
The God of Wine comes crashing through
The headlights of a car that took you farther
Than you thought you'd ever want to go
We can't get back again
We can't get back again
She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates
And soon the cells give way, and cancels out the day
I can't keep it all together
I know I know I know...
I can't keep it all together
And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone on your face
Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack, a fraudulent zodiac
And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it, now I'm going down
And you're not even around
And I said no no no...
I can't keep it all together
I know I know I know...
I can't keep it all together
And there's a memory of a window
Looking through I see you
Searching for something I could never give you
And there's someone who understands
You more than I do
A sadness I can't erase
All alone on your face

Miss Jones taught me English
But I think I just shot her son
'Cause he owed me money
With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess I didn't mean it
But man, you should've seen it
His flesh explode
Slow motion, see me let go
We tend to die young
Slow motion, see me let go
What a brother knows
Slow motion, see me let go
Now the cops will get me
But girl, if you would let me
I'll take your pants off
I got a little bit of blow we could both get off
Later bathing in the afterglow
Two lines of coke I cut with Draino
And her nose starts to bleed
A most beautiful ruby red
Slow motion, see me let go
We'll remember these days
Slow motion, see me let go
Urban life decays
Slow motion, see me let go
And at home
My sister's eating paint chips again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I shut the door to her moaning
And I shoot smack in my veins
Wouldn't you
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Because he hates his life
There's an arc to his fist as he swings
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
And death slides close to me
Won't grow old to be
A junkie wino creep
Hollywood glamorized my wrath
I'm a young urban psychopath
I incite murder for your entertainment
'Cause I needed the money
What's your excuse
The joke's on you
Slow motion, see me let go
Oh yeah
Slow motion, see me let go
Slow motion, see me let go
