Here comes the sunlight again Burning the thoughts from my head I don’t care if you think of me as some sort of ruthless dog And I don’t care if criticize me, it don’t hurt me at all If all you life was meant to be some sort of foolish grin Then the past would be comical as compared to the trouble within And I can’t listen to the stories in your mind and I can’t blow them away What’s your story, what was that you said, oh god I wish you were dead Here comes the nightmare again I can’t deal with you, my sick demented friend Bare in mind this only accounts to initial impressions you send I don’t mean this as a personal attack, one you have to defend If you’d only come to a point, then I would surely decline To turn my back and walk away and leave you there to find That I can’t listen to the stories in your mind and I can’t blow them away What’s your story, what was that you said, oh god I wish you were dead Fascists growing, bathed in neon, afterglow of a shrinking world Scared by daylight, lost at midnight, cast the ghost that entraps your soul Break/Solo Fascists growing, bathed in neon, afterglow of a shrinking world Scared by daylight, lost at midnight, cast the ghost that entraps your soul Fascists growing, bathed in neon, afterglow of a stinking world Scared by daylight, lost at midnight, cast the ghost that entraps your soul

Dirty rotten look, make your eyes roll back; I really begin to take shape, now didn’t I? A really long look, makes your insides crawl, your bones begin to ache Do you see what I mean? Hear me crawling; feel me crawling, deeper inside of your brain Constantly I whisper your name, will it ever, will it ever disappear? I realize, I do what I can, I take what I need, you know what I am Do what you like, I did it aging, guess who I am and I’ll be that man Northerly nights, at the end of the day, you walk across the street to avoid me Better leave it alone, bite to the bone, one man is safe Then you’ll begin to feel the way I want you to feel Hear me crawling; feel me crawling, deeper inside of your brain Constantly I whisper your name, will it ever, will it ever disappear? I realize, I do what I can, I take what I need, you know what I am Do what you like, I did it aging, guess who I am and I’ll be that man Do what you want you know you can’t stop me Do what you want you’ll never succeed Try all you like cause the danger excites me All at once at the conclusion then one day you will find Then you’ll believe the things I have told you For the last time . . . Hear me crawling; feel me crawling, deeper inside of your brain Constantly I whisper your name, will it ever, will it ever disappear? I realize, I do what I can, I take what I need, you know what I am Do what you like, I did it aging, guess who I am and I’ll be that man

Two beer Charlie doesn't live here anymore There's a picture on the wall that's all that's left of him He lived to fast he liked it that way He always used to say I got to make up for time I can still remember what he said Do what I do, not what I say Two Beer Charlie left his mark on the land It matches the stain on the bathroom wall People lit bright white candles that day Some got fucked up, Charlie liked it that way I can still remember what he said Do what I do, not what I say Its your life do what you want wake up in the morning Looking straight at the sun Been a hard day I got so much to do Don't take it to hard this can happen to you Flashing back to another time . . . What's up Charlie? What the hell you doing? Please dad don't hit me anymore . . . Nobody loves you, nobody cares No one better dare, I curse the day you were born Two beer Charlie I am calling your name Sometimes I think about you and how you ended that way The picture on the wall that hangs in the hall is starting to fade It doesn't last that long . . . I can still remember what he said Do what I do, not what I say Its your life do what you want wake up in the morning Looking straight at the sun Been a hard day I got so much to do Don't take it to hard this can happen to you Flashing back to another time . . . Whoa Yeah Yeah Come outside, come on out and play I'll meet you at the north woods at the usual place Your Dad will never find you, if he bothers to look and you'll be saved for a couple of hours . . . Its your life do what you want wake up in the morning Looking straight at the sun Been a hard day I got so much to do Don't take it to hard this can happen to you Come on now wake up mother fuckers Its your life do what you want wake up in the morning Looking straight at the sun Been a hard day I got so much to do Don't take it to hard this can happen to you Happen to you, Happen to you, Happen to you

I'm a lonely traveler, waiting for a plane, a bus, a train, and automobile, I got to get away Take me to the river, take me to the sea Take me almost anywhere so I can be free Blinded by doves, blotting out the moon My brains can’t make up lies, faster than this tune Hide behind the drums, the bass and the guitar You can’t guess the meanings, sitting at your bar Fuck no, you can’t take my life Fuck no, crawl back inside, you dirty rotten fuck Fuck no, I given up all hope Fuck no, you know, you know you know you know Sugar plum magic, gum drop crazy dreams Brightly lit chronicles, spilled out on TV screens Blood red magic marker, written down in haste Too quick to action, no time to contemplate Branded by delicious, maple smelling girls Lived beneath tornado’d tress, rotting to the ground Hide behind satin, lipstick colored screams You can’t guess the meanings, your fucked up monkey dreams Fuck no, you can’t take my life Fuck no, crawl back inside, you dirty rotten fuck Fuck no, I given up all hope Fuck no, you know, you know you know Only so many words, pour right out of me I can’t think lyrics, missing every line Motivation escapes me, without another joke Brains of mice and brains of men Brains of greatness, brains of toads Fuck no, you can’t take my life Fuck no, crawl back inside, you dirty rotten fuck Fuck no, I given up all hope, I offed myself 15 years ago Fuck no, you know, you know you know I must go . . . again
