BITES

THEY SAID NOT TO BITE THE APPLE,
BUT I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK
THEY SAID I BIT A SILVER SPOON
BUT I THINK I BIT A FORK
THEY THOUGHT MY BITE WAS BAD
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR MY BARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE ICE
BUT INSTEAD I ATE MY HEART

THEY SAID TO BITE THE DUST
BUT I CAME CLEAN LONG AGO
THEY SAID TO BITE THE BULLET
BUT THE POWDER WOULDN'T BLOW
THEY SAID I BIT OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW BUT I SAID NAY
THEY SAID TO BITE MY TONGUE
I SAID I HAD A LOT TO SAY.

---------

THEY SAID NOT TO BITE THE APPLE,
BUT I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK
THEY SAID I BIT A SILVER SPOON
BUT I THINK I BIT A FORK
THEY THOUGHT MY BITE WAS BAD
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR MY BARK
THEY SAID TO BITE THE ICE
SO I DANCED THERE IN THE DARK

THEY SAID TO BITE THE DUST
BUT I CAME CLEAN LONG AGO
THEY SAID TO BITE THE BULLET
BUT THE POWDER WOULDN'T BLOW
THEY SAID I BIT OFF MORE
THAN I COULD CHEW BUT THEY WERE WRONG
THEY SAID TO BITE MY TONGUE
AND SO I WROTE THIS BLOODY SONG.

Never the Same

F    Bb
Why did you go on home?
   C
You didn't have to go,
  F
But you left me alone,
  Bb
and I can't accept you're gone.



F Bb
How could you leave us here,
   C
How could you disappear?
   F
Oh boy we miss you dear,
    Bb
and we can't believe you're gone



F Bb
You were just dancing there
 C
Feathers in your hair
F
I can still see you there
   Bb
and I can't accept you're gone



Bb C
I didn't know you well, was never close
Bb      C
but i loved you just as well, even though
Bb   C
we rarely talked, you barely knew my name
Bb   C
i loved you just the same, almost the same



Bb
i didn't know you well, or your favorite color
Bb
but i loved you just like i love any other
Bb
we rarely talked, you barely knew my name
Bb
but i'll never be the same, never the same



F   Bb
i saw you friday night
C
thought you looked alright
F
knew you'd be alright
 Bb
now i cry because you're gone



F  Bb
i saw you friday night
    C
i never thought that i
F
would ever ever cry
   Bb
would turn to tears because you're gone



F  Bb
i liked the way that you danced
C
you were your own kinda man
 F
we were your own biggest fans
Bb
a bad romance now that you're gone



Bb   C
i didn't know you well or where you lived
Bb   C
but i knew almost too well what you had to give
Bb   C
we rarely talked you barely knew my name
Bb   C
but you left me just the same, almost the same



Bb   C
i didn't know you well or your favorite color
Bb          C
but i loved you just like i love any other
Bb   C
we rarely talked you barely knew my name
Bb   C
but i'll never be the same, never the same



F     Bb
Got to shut down my head
C
So I can go to bed
F
I know you'd laugh at that,
     Bb
that I don't believe you're dead.



F Bb
You ran with a crazy crowd
    C
You sang your Gaga loud
     F
You left me without doubt
Bb
that we'll never be the same

Mr. Self-Satisfied

Mister
Self-Satisfied
When I said that we were different
don't imagine I lied;
It's complicated
the heat between us,
It's frustrating,
can't tell you I lust
Because the picture frame extends beyond a boy meets girl
Your movie storyline is more a boy meets world.


Mister
Self-Satisfied
When I said I had these feelings
all pent up inside
it's complicated
the heat between us
it's frustrating
don't know how to trust
the ocean of emotion in me motions to speak
but I don't know how to tell you you're just the boy of the week

Kool with a K

you start a conversation with me
just to show me you don't care
and all you can say
is cool with a k
and how much you hate my green hair.

you start a conversation with me
just to prove i'm nothing to you
you might as well tell
me to just go to hell
'cause your making us both look like fools.

Just Like Other Men

I wish you weren't worth it
wish I could blow you off
wish I could stand you up
wish I could let you down
and never think of you again
wish you were just like other men
if you were just like other men
I'd never think of you again


I wish I didn't like you,
wish I could screw you and be through,
forget your name, your face,
wish I could leave this place
and never think of you again
wish you were just like other men
if you were just like other men
i'd never think of you again.

Hold Me

Am
Hold Me,
G
Hold My hand;

I'd give up
    F Am
but I can't


Am
Hold me,
G
Hold me tight;

I'd let you leave,
      F    Am
but it doesn't feel right


Am
Touch me.
G
Touch my hair--

At least pretend that
F  Am
you still care


C      G
Just give me one more day with you
C     Am
One more night before I'm lost and alone.
C     G
Just one more day before we're through
C Am
Just one more walk holding hands before you're gone
F G    Am
Please don't leave me alone just yet...


Am
Hold Me,
G
Hold My hand;

and I will try
       F      Am
to make you understand


Am
Hold me,
G
Hold me tight;

I'll be okay,
     F       Am
just give me one last night


Am
Love me.
G
Here and now

I'd stop holding on
F  Am
But I'm not sure how


Am
Touch me.
     G
Feel Me

Lie to me,
    F   Am
and say that you won't leave


C      G
Just give me one more day with you
C     Am
One more night before I'm lost and alone.
C     G
Just one more day before we're through
C Am
Just one more walk holding hands before you're gone
F G    Am
Please don't leave me alone just yet...
F G    Am
Please don't leave me alone just yet...
F G    Am
Please don't leave me alone just yet...
F G    Am
Please don't leave me alone just yet.

joke, joke,

aftermath

frightened, and

gotten.

ERS

The past is what I never care to be
You murder my past, you kill my memory
but murder my future and you murder me

Who am I? Who are you?
in the past we've been two-faced
i'm in god's living room
his clock is too fast-paced

if god and the devil
are one and the same
and Abraxas passes time
by making life a fucking game

then tell me do I have a right
not to be forgotten
when you leave a person overnight
and wake up and they're rotten?

then tell me do I have a right
not to be forgotten
when you leave a person overnight
and wake up and they're rotten?

I suffer from an uncommon disease
I fear that no one will remember me
Like Father Mackenzie or Eleanor Rigby

I'm far too important
though I've nothing done
that makes me really worth
being referred to as someone

i've got too much to do
too many days to waste
my past is full of nightmares
and they've left a bitter taste

so tell me do I have a right
not to be forgotten
when you leave a person overnight
and wake up and they're rotten?

so tell me do I have a right
not to be forgotten
when you leave a person overnight
and wake up and they're rotten?

Disappointed

don't matter that i'm excited,
yeah, i'm excited for this,
feel like you're disappointed,
you're disappointed in me.
and it don't matter that i am oh so proud and oh so happy,
feel like you're disappointed,
you're disappointed in me.

i thought you were supposed to,
you were supposed to be,
supportive and excited,
or not opposed at least.
and it don't matter that i am proud of what i'm accomplishing,
you're not what you're supposed to,
what you're supposed to be.

'nd i guess that's how you feel,
yeah, how you feel about me,
feel like i'm not supposed to,
i'm not supposed to be free.
and it don't matter that i am soaring as i'm spreading my wings,
you think i'm not supposed to,
i'm not supposed to be free.

and i don't know
what you wanted from me
but it was something
that i couldn't give
you wanted someone
for a child but not me
you wanted someone
i don't know how to be

and i'd love to help you
help me succeed
where i've repeatedly failed
and conceded defeat
i'm just trying and vying,
aspiring to be
someone you could love,
and maybe even believe in.

but i was always clever,
and it's clear weather to see,
that you and i were never,
were never meant to be
and it don't matter that i love you and you still say you love me,
it's clear that i don't measure
up, you're disappointed in me.

Argue With a Fool

Oh, you say it's this, and then it's that
Oh, you never know just where it's at
Oh, make up your mind are you a lying fool?
A fool? A fool? A fool?

Oh, you say you'll stay and then you go.
Oh, I know you lie, but I believe--
so, though the truth is hanging over me,
I see only the things I want to see,
think you to be who I want you to be.

Oh, I don't know how to argue with a fool,
a fool, a fool, a fool.

No, I don't know how to argue with a fool,
a fool, a fool, a fool.

You, you, you’re a fool, a fool, a fool.
