When the rays shone thru On that Wednesday morning I spent with you I’m holding you Taking hold With bare feet I ran thru the snow To kiss you again before you go Don’t let it be the last You were there to rub my back I’m weird yeah I can get real green I’m too afraid To not make a scene I’ve been here I’ve been here before I’ve been here I’ve been here before You’re a bandit Still wearing a mask Feeling ‘round for something firm To grasp I’m your sight You wanna fight Come on find out how hard I can bite Your paws were faster than mine Every red mark you left behind Blood did rise I’m caught in your claws Lost in your fur I’ve been here I’ve been here before I’ve been here I’ve been here before Your sadness Particular Keeps you up On high, high, high alert When you’re on the stage It’s no meager task Rip to shreds that stupid, little mask Your paws were faster than mine Every red mark you left behind Blood did rise I’m caught in your claws Lost in your fur But I can hardly see More than, two feet in front of me But in my dreams These premonitions, I’m crazyyyyyyahhhh I’ve been here I’ve been here before I’ve been here I’ve been here before I’m weird yeah I can get real green I’m ugly I can turn real blue I’m weird yeah I can get real green I’m ugly I can turn real blue

I am running to a nowhere Such and such to attain When is radical motion? Such a hysterical notion? Am I an ocean or a drop in the pond? I am running on an empty (tank) Ended up just where they want me to be (be, be) I’m a deep sea diver Cut the cords I’m floating out to sea Am I an ocean or a drop in the pond? The sound I found it scuffles as it pounds On the very ground I lounge around On the heels, of ideals and the seals of deals That aren’t real to anyone anymore Anyone Anymore Anyone Anymore Deep sea diver, deep sea diver

What am I doing here? For six long years I’ve been holding this post Now I’m burning at both ends I’ve come to terms with the fact That you will never understand me There’s a sadness in your eyes But you’re still telling jokes anyway My family’s not cultured We’re just middle class folk Who are blind We can’t see past the weekend No matter how hard I try I am just fucking like them I’m not punk rock or hip or deep I’m a poor fucking redneck And they don’t see How much there really is out there Just waiting for me And I’m just waiting for them to see I don’t need to be like you I don’t need to be like you I don’t need to be like you Why do you do the things you do? (I don’t need to be like you) Why do you throw away everything? (I don’t need to be like you) Why do you need me to be? (I don’t need to be like you) Why can’t you just except that? I don’t need to be like you Or like anyone Or like anything I’m an extraterrestrial being Just looking for home I don’t need to be like you I don’t need to be like you

Daughters grow old Fathers grow insane Your boyfriend will move on To the next trendy thing One day asking me if I remember your name Record Jackets fade But these songs don’t get old Heart breaks thru the static On my stereo Don’t bother asking me if I remember your name Kinda seems, we wasted our lives On an adolescent dream All the while these things meant the world to me Can’t defend your actions They speak for themselves Can’t deny my reaction Well I guess I am the problem now Record Jackets fade But these songs don’t get old Heart breaks thru the static On my stereo Don’t bother asking me if I remember your name Kinda seems, we wasted our lives On an adolescent dream All the while these things meant the world to me Can’t defend your actions They speak for themselves Can’t deny my reaction Well I guess I am the problem now
