disappointing you #3 03:57

Get that out I shouldn't have done that while the mics were rolling Now you're going to use that Yeah, yeah, I am Four What's behind, that locked door You don't mind, if I look around some more Maybe unwind A whiskey drink to pour, I'm going blind Would you lead me to the store Don't be unkind Don't be a bore What I need Is just a buck or two, a trusty steed And some cigarettes of blue, rolling weed I'm disappointing you, follow my lead Let's get lost for a few It's just a paper opinion Swearing allegiance to the dominion It's just a tiny hallucinogen It goes down nicely with juice and with gin Now if you leave I know that's my fault, my buddy Steve He said I should have called, you wouldn't believe My story for my stall didn't mean to deceive All of you at all, sorry to the bereaved I exaggerated the fall, so I'll just leave Don't expect a call It's just a paper opinion Swearing allegiance to the dominion It's just a tiny hallucinogen It goes down nicely with juice and with gin

Summertime goes pouring down the drain Wasted all of it washed in powdered champagne Pot of coffee way to start a mundane Crying out a worthless Crying out a worthless serenade Crying out a worthless serenade Crying out a worthless serenade Crying out a worthless serenade Better than standing out in the rain Throwing pity parties, marching in parades Crying out a worthless serenade At least, there used to be a number Somewhere I could go running and Hide for cover Hide for cover Now it's washer and it's dryer and I'm frightened in the cupboards Their world is full of maple streets And we'll go from one to the other other other And let them destroy Destroy Destroy Destroy Destroy Destroy themselves One to the other The other The other This maple maple maple street street street Is not unique By no means Believe me friends the only thing that's gonna happen Is that we're gonna eat each other up alive Alive Alive Gonna eat each other up alive Gonna eat each other up alive Gonna eat each other up alive Alive Alive Alive Alive It's the monster, it's the monster) Crying out a worthless serenade Don't know how much longer I can stand the masquerade One of these days I'm gonna have to break Always left stranded, hot iron branded a race horse At least a race horse gets put out to pasture At least a race horses deepest concern is that he has to run faster Crying out a worthless serenade Crying out a worthless serenade Crying out a worthless serenade Ain't got no lemons never make no lemonade If I wanna cut the heat I better stand out in the shade And cry all about my worthless serenade

Introducing my depression To my old pal Smith & Wesson Maybe finally after this session I'll finally learn my lesson It's just an expression Like I'm so tired Or it's just Chest congestion Why stop the bleeding I'm having fun just picking at the scabs Are you really sleeping With an eyelid open, well are your dreams that bad Why keep him breathing it hurts to see, it's just gonna make you sad When'd you lose the feeling When we was fab, but all those things must pass When we was fab, but all those things must pass That old time screw job I swear we coulda been living in Montreal I was a cotton swab I was a fly on the wall Now I'm trying not to sob Pretending, it doesn't bother me at all Why stop the bleeding It's gushing red but it really doesn't hurt that bad Are you really sleeping Or is it moping in bed pretending that you're not sad The waves keep receding What did I do to go and drive you mad Take it away Take it all away Take me today Whatever you say Why stop the bleeding It's gushing red but it really doesn't hurt that bad Are you really sleeping With an eyelid open, well are your dreams that bad Why keep the heart beating If it hurts to see if it just makes you sad When'd you lose the feeling When we was fab, but all those things must pass When we was fab, but all those things must pass

The snow that melts before it greets the sidewalk But under my feet it does not burn Like waves it washes all of yesterdays chalk away as to not concern Watching running races round the clock Only wait so long for the hour to turn Master of my very own destiny My own very worst known enemy Even if I'm trudging through it dreadfully I'm lucky knowing I wont turn out like a Kennedy Patiently awaiting to assign a tomb In the meantime please direct me to the breathing room Really what's the use in goin' turning me loose Not like i'm going down the chimney strapped in parachutes Maybe I can get my twenty one gun salute If I go tightrope walking in a pinstripe suit You think you've got the power You feel the power that makes the skies rumble And the earth shake Hercules, at Wrestlemania four All you have to bring, is anger and frustration I live for anger and frustration Combat, is where we'll be Wrestlemania four Whole life breathing that perpetual sigh Coulda made a deadman smile, drive the tigers wild What's another day, what's another night I'll probably still be sighing in the afterlife

If even the international space station ends up at the bottom of the ocean one day Why do I gotta work so hard to keep my electricity bill paid Always needing a job is starting to drive me insane Would all the gears just stop, if I ran out for the trees I'm toppled by giants in my dreams They gun me down with laser beams I'm no match they're so obscene And I'm too froze to change the scene To the one where I'm rocking my gold teeth 'Cause my mama made a big star outta me No more studio in the garage and I can finally drive my own damn car I still don't know what it all means But that's okay while I'm in still in My teens I guess that gives me like three weeks to plan my whole eternity Sometimes I wonder if it's me The victim of a pincushion misery Somewhere out there a voodoo doll Makes a fool of me Even if I lift a thousand tons I'll never be strong enough to load the gun Like my work here is never done And I've always gotta race the rising sun I've never ever won but if I try real hard I'll win the next one I miss when I was having fun Now it always feels like I'm stone cold stunned I'm toppled by giants in my dreams I beg I plead they don't hear my screams Another victim of the smoke machine Torn apart below the knees The next part hurts too much to see I can't divert my eyeballs from the screen It starts to turn my stomach green They burn me like St. Augustine I kinda don't wanna get back into work right now I kinda don't wanna get back into anything right now I'd just like to buried in the ground For three thousand years So the people of the future can dig me up like a dinosaur And use me for oil 'Cause at least as oil I would have a purpose I would have a meaning I would have a function I could Maybe I could make people happy As oil I toppled those giants in my dreams But there's no evidence to be seen People walk by, don't bat an eye Just think I'm high on magic beans I toppled those giants in my dreams But I only toppled them in my dreams When I awake to reality Those giants still tower over me

Don't you ever, get so tired You forget, to phone home Don't you ever, get so worried I just needed a little time alone Don't you ever, just forget I always make it there But I guess, here's a reminder I've got my limbs, his nose, and her hair Don't you ever, get so lonely You can't stand to have anyone around And don't you get, so confused When you just can't place that car alarm sound And don't you get, so depressed Just kicking up the autumn leaves But don't you find it, just a little haunting The sadness of the loser who grieves Now don't you ever, lose your temper As Gods, playing practical jokes Don't you ever, cry a little Every time you find out your broke Don't you find, it kinda loses meaning Out of order, and out of pocket But I guess, here's my reminder I'm no Captain Bottlerocket You are obsolete, Mister Wordsworth You have no function, Mister Wordsworth You're an anachronism Like a ghost from another time You're a bug, Mister Wordsworth A crawling insect An ugly, misformed little creature Who has no purpose here, no meaning You're a dealer in books And two-cent fines and pamphlets And closed stacks And the musty insides of a language factory That spews out meaningless words on an assembly line Words, Mr. Wordsworth That have no substance and no dimension Like air, like the wind Like a vacuum that you make believe has an existence By scribbling index numbers on little cards. I don't care, I tell you I don't care I'm a human being, I exist!

I don't know how many times, I've gone on this Merry-Go-Ride A little bit dizzy but I'm doing fine Maybe in the morning I'll feel sublime I still don't know how to shake the pain I know it's not glue, or cans of paint But it gets so hard to concentrate Staring at your own heart on a silver plate If this really is my last go-round I can't, promise I won't make a sound Unless there's some happiness in, bound Not sure if all that was necessary Why go digging in coal mines for canaries Stroll past an empty cemetery Maybe that's where you'll be buried Sometimes I feel lonelier than the mars rover Got the Grim Reaper breathing Right down my shoulder I hate to say I'm getting older Since the day I was born My journey's been over
