I had a feeling from the start of it
I had a joke on everyone
I had a joke who was in everyone
and if you listen up just once you know
if you want you can never leave
and if you want you can let her go
I had a feeling from the start of it
you could say so motherfucker
you could say so motherfucker
and then I took it all around
I took her back and I said to myself
if you want you can never leave
and if you want you can let her go
all the negatives have been destroyed
all the negatives have been destroyed

I had a feeling from the start of it
you could let me go if you wanted to
but I haven't seen that you wanted to
so I took it all around I took it back and I said to myself
that if you want you can never leave
and if you want you can let her go
all the negatives have been destroyed
all the negatives have been destroyed

you could feel a lot of doubt 
on the runway and in her murder walk 
you could tell 
maybe it's how she fell 
when she saw you 
maybe it's how she fell 

like some bright orange pumps 
it was the murder mystery 
she didn't want 
she put her claws deep in your arms 
and it made the tracks go all red 
pull yourself together hon 
or heaven's just in your head 

when the bulbs had all broke and hit the ground 
there was hardly any sound 
yeah 
then you see a lot of doubt 
and then they knew all along it was you 
it's too late now 
because breaking up is hard to do

oh she kneels down down 
goes around on a coffin all night 
but to me 
well she's nowhere now 
she'll be nowhere tomorrow 
when you smashed all the

she's not down with the revolution 
she's not hip and part of the nation

if she had half a mind
well she might not take this song quite so seriously
so put the notebook down and take off your dress
I've never seen it before and I said
that's what you are you're a bad guy
that's what you do to win sugar
come on let's go outside
you know we can go sit out in your car and get cut down
cut off
cut down

well I was at your show old man
I couldn't watch you at all old man
I couldn't take my eyes off you
cut down
cut off
cut down

I've been waiting here for so long 
and I'm on the curb with everyone 
and I'm fit for it and I'm ready again
yeah, I'm fit for working again 
so you understand just what they mean 
kids will go to such extremes 
like here's the answer 
what's the question again
I kid you not should it take all night
fill up the tank 'cause if it takes all day 
we'll get out the state

he's down with the capitalist system
but he lost a lot those capitalists
he's read every book that you'd ever list him
and now he'll put you back up there on your shelf
you're the government darling
you're sick of yourself

what would the powers that be do without you dad
we'd probably live among the socialists
so man don't you go and deny it
because lying is fit to be so worse for your health
you're the government darling
you're sick of yourself

turn in your tank and turn around 

idiot driver

why don't you turn over 

enterprise yeah man I know what it's like 
way to get from a to b

she was smoking up all his cigarettes 
and putting them out in his hand 
she said that you think this hurts now kid 
well just wait until later man 
this is fucking torture to me 
it's fucking torture 
nefarious 
it's enough to have to meet you 
nefarious 
and there's nothing that could reach you 

what's good what's not so good 
sometimes it is hard for her tell 
what's good what's not so good 
sometime it is hard 
when she knows you so well 
and when she knows you so well 
and now your teeth are red 
and there's a little bit about you I don't want to know 
and now your teeth are all red
there's a little bit about you I don't want to know

but when there's something that wants this much to happen 
there's no need to be alarmed 
but I'm not so sure if you want to get in that car 
because I caught you cheating 
and caulking your chin 
and now your teeth are all red 
and there's a little bit about you I don't want to know 
and now your teeth are red
and there's a little bit about you I don't want to know
nefarious
it's enough to have to meet you 
nefarious 
and there's nothing that could reach you 
and you're tearing me apart 
it's enough to have to meet you

and tanked up 
and I can't sleep at all 
I can't sleep at all 
she's gone in a word 
the ephedrine 
got caught half-way down 
the pretty anti-ground 
I don't want to miss such an american scene 
and I said to myself that I'm not turning off 
I said to myself I'm not turning off

oh honey oh please it's just a machine
there's something about you're up late 
your can tastes like tin aluminum 
there's something about I'm not the only one 
that can't sleep at all 
and I don't want to miss such an american scene 
and I said to myself I'm not turning off 
I said to myself I'm not turning

so connect to me
oh honey oh please it's just a machine

inside the wall 
I wasn't sure way things turned-out was best they could be 
I'm working today and yesterday 
still got some time and I can have something I'd live for 
I want to be part of the movement too 
I just don't find myself giving a fuck 
about the things that I have to do when I see you 

when it gets you like it's got me 
it cuts my teeth and then it like I said 
when I first saw her I thought I knew her 
now I know I don't just wish I did 
and she could be able to take me far 
so come over my house and say save my life plastic mylar 

I'm assuming you'll put me right 
I'm assuming you're not a 
and she's got a place that is cool so far 
and I haven't seen her perfections for my plastic mylar 
I'm assuming you'll put me right 
I'm assuming you're out of sight 
to john david and sean and d rocky and lou and kim and her sister 
two jobs later jerry b ratour magalinto marilyn ruth 

well are you part of the motion-ment 
I want to be part of that movement too 
I just don't find myself giving a about the things that I have to do when I see you 
when it gets you like it's got me 
it cuts my teeth and then it like I said 
when I first saw her I thought I knew her 
now I know I don't just wish I did 
and she could be able to take me far

I am assuming you're out of sight

well say-a-hey 
could you come through 
did you feel good 
well it felt good 
and it looked like maybe you could settle in

well it felt good 
and it looked like maybe you could settle in

and say-a-hey

did you feel the 
all of the compression 
did you look around settle in

and it looked like maybe you could settle in 
quick with the terrain

I wanted to be your friend 
I wanted to get to know you 
I wanted to be your friend 
I wanted to get to know you
I wanted to be your friend
no kidding 

I wanted to hang out some 
I thought when you danced it looked all right 
I thought that you talked pretty cool 
but don't get me wrong I wasn't uptight 
intentions they fly out the window when you left 
the window stayed open and light before I said 
no kidding 

although it was nothing heavy 
there are things that I could have showed you 
like how I wanted to be your friend 
I wanted to get to know you 
I wanted to be your friend 
no kidding
