Flying
Well I've always dreamed of flying
So I put on my angel wings and got higher
But I flew close to the sun
And my wings they turned to stone
Now I'm back on the ground again
Then I tried to build an airplane
Figured that would get me some place
But my tank ran out of fuel
And the plane began to fall
Now I'm back on the ground again
And I guess this is how it’s gonna be
Always a victim of gravity
Turns out my flying machines
Aren’t what I thought they’d be
Now I’m back on the ground again
Then I tried to be an astronaught
So I put on my space helmet and took off
But I flew to close to a black hole
And my space ship lost control
Now I'm back on the ground again
And I guess this is how it’s gonna be
Always a victim of gravity
Turns out my flying machines
Aren’t what I thought they’d be
Now I’m back on the ground again
But If I don't try to touch the sky
I'll be ground for the rest of my life
So I'll get real high and I will learn to fly
Fuck it you know this is my time
So then I Built a ladder
And it took a lot longer
But when I started towards the top
Man I didn't fucking stop
I won't be back on the ground again

The Queen

The Queen
I said no no no no
This is not what I expected
But the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha
And we all knew that she had meant it
We killed her with our bombs
We killed her with our lungs
She offered salvation
But we didn't care
We killed her family
We burned down all the trees
Spreading our disease
While we fled the scene
And so the story goes
For one to live another must die
And now the whole world knows
But no one wants to try
I said no no no no
This is not what I expected
But the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha
And we all knew that she had meant it
And then the queen struck back
And we all had a laugh
Cause she was all too green
And we didn't care
And so the story goes
For one to live another must die
And now the whole world knows
But no one wants to try
And I said No no no no no
This is not what I expected
And the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha ha
And we all knew that she had meant it
Now the trees are gone
And I guess we were all wrong
But we're to far to stop
So I guess this is so long
And I said No no no no no
This is not what I expected
And the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha
And we all knew that she had meant it

Angel

Angel
Well I think I'm going to hell
Cause I just sold my soul for you angel
But I don't mind burning forever
Cause right now I'm looking at heaven
Well I'm not much of a believer
But if theirs a god well then I'd like to meet her
To ask her why she's locked her gates
Cause why else would you be in this place
Hey angel won't you cleanse my soul watch me atone as my life unfolds
Bless me with the memory of you
Well I think I'm in over my head
Cause I don't know what to do or what could be said
So I'll stare from across the room
While you bless this earth and I merely roam
Hey angel won't you cleanse my soul
Watch me atone as my life unfolds
Bless me with the memory of you
Hey angel won't you come one down
Trade in your wings for a piece of hell
You can be the light that guides me home

I Fell in Love With a Junkie
She's got a needle in her arm
And an arrow through my heart
She knows all about punk rock
I knew I loved her from the start
She's a poster child for
The classless and the poor
And I'm addicted to her
The way she leaves me wanting more
Cause I fell in love with a junkie
And she fell in love with me
We will never be apart
She made an addict out of me
Cause I fell in love with a junkie
And she fell in love with me
I will never give her up
She made an addict out of me
She wears black tight skinny jeans
With rips in both of the knees
Catches the eye of strangers
She's my rebel beauty queen
Her additude spells danger
Dad don't want me to date her
It only makes me want her more
And my mom fucking hates her
Cause I fell in love with a junkie
And she fell in love with me
We will never be apart
She made an addict out of me
Cause I fell in love with a junkie
And she fell in love with me
I will never give her up
She made an addict out of me

1984
When you’re born they take away your eyes
So when you grow up you'll be blind
And you'll only see what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
And when you’re young they take away your mind
So they can sculpt you just how they like
And you'll only know what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
1984 Knocking at our door
Mr. Orwell where'd you go
And when you’re 18 they take away your feelings
Cause when your retarded you won't need them
And you'll only do what they want you to
Their double speak version version of the truth
And when you’re all grown up they take away your dreams
Make you a cog in their machine
And you'll only be what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
1984 knocking at our door
Mr. Orwell where'd you go
We've seen this before
It always runs its course
Mr. Orwell where'd you go
When you’re old they take away your memories
So you can't learn from the past century
And you'll only recall what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
And when you’re dead they take away your bones
So when you’re gone no one will know
And your epitaph will forget too
Even dead men don't speak the truth

The Human Race
I turned on the tv today
And I saw the human race
It was an unfortunate scene that I could not erase
I turned on the radio to drown out the noise
But it was just as bad to listen to our voice
If this is what it means
To exercise our beliefs
Then maybe we should uncover our eyes
I turned down the boulevard to see what we'd become
Fascist spoiled brats playing the victims
I read through the holy scriptures to see where we went wrong
But they only confirmed we have yet to find our gods
If this is what it means
To exercise our beliefs
Then maybe we should uncover our eyes
If this is what it means
To sail blindly across the sea
Then maybe we should listen to the tide

Work Of Art
I am a work of art
Shallow on the outside
With a deeper meaning
Hidden somewhere even I can't find
And I am your biggest dreams
Laughing in your face
Cause you couldn't make it
But neither could I guess I'm just a fake
But who am I to judge when all I've ever done is not enough
And who am I to speak when all I've ever seen Is the dirt under my feet
I am a masterpiece
Sculpted from the gods
But they made a mistake
Because under the marble I am a fraud
So who am I to judge when all I've ever done Is not enough
And who am I to speak when all I've ever seen Is the dirt under my feet
They say a man is not what he has done
But what one day he will become
And I'm becoming something that I am not
I've been faking it my whole life now I've been caught
Or maybe I'm just a tiny speck
Watching stars collide
With no deeper meaning
And just as shallow on the outside

Losing My Mind
Well I've been searching all night
Looking for some kind of meaning
But where do you look
When you’re stuck in your head
And you can't even find your own feelings
Well Ive been stumbling all day
Over my own convictions
But how do you think in such a straight line
When your up to your knees in prescriptions
But I don't mind
Losing my mind
Cause it never was so easy to find
And I don't care
That I don't care
Cause I never was so alright
Well I've been dreaming for weeks
And I'm not quite sure what is real
Is it the shadow of death or the junkie on meth
And which one gives me my pills
Well I I've been screaming for years
But no ever seems to answer me
They turn their heads or they all play dead
As if I had some kind of disease
But I don't mind
Losing my mind
Cause it never was so easy to find
And I don't care
That I don't care
Cause I never was so alright
And though I'm downing in my own head
I don't mind getting wet
Cause one day I'll learn to swim
And though I'm breathing in the fumes
What do I have left to lose
I never had much anyways
So I don't mind
Losing my mind
Cause it never was so easy to find
And I don't care
That I don't care
Cause I never was so alright

Come Burn With Me
Heaven sounds like a terrible place with priests and southerners and Jesus freaks
All eternity stuck with Rush Limbaugh Kirk Cameron and Sean Hannity oh no
And I'd rather burn in hell than have to listen to any more of their spiel
Yeah heaven is no place for me and at least in hell I hear that health care's free oh yeah
Jesus Christ couldn't change my mind
Cause even he hates heaven sometimes
He's gotta be sick of right wing politics
Spent 2000 years with assholes and hypocrites
Hell sounds like a beautiful place
With dykes and scientists and all the gays
All eternity stuck with free thinkers prostitutes and atheists oh yeah
And I'd rather burn in hell with them than listen to one more god damn sermon
Yeah hell is just the place for me so lock me up and please throw away the key
Jesus Christ couldn't change my mind
Cause even he hates heaven sometimes
He's gotta be sick of right wing politics
Spent 2000 years with assholes and hypocrites

Floating
Your feet are off the ground
And your head is somewhere else now
And then you close your eyes
And you know this is what it's like
Then you rush out of there
Down to the street corner
And you get back on your feet again
You’re so sick of feeling sober
But you gotta come down sometime
It's only heaven for a little while
Sometimes it's lonely living this kind of life
But it's worth it for a good time
Now you’re back in your comfort zone
The only place that you really know
And you look into the mirror
But it's all a blur
Then you rush out of there
Down to the street corner
And you get back on your feet
You’re so sick of feeling sober
But you gotta come down sometime
It's only heaven for a little while
Sometimes it’s lonely living this kind of life
But it's worth it for a good time
And what could ever go so wrong
To ever give this up
When everything I love is gone
This is all I got
It makes me weak but it keeps me strong enough to carry on
I don't care what people say cause I will never stop
So you lay back again
With your only friend
And then you close your eyes
And you know this is what's it like

Man I didn't fucking stop
I won't be back on the ground again
