Pretty pixels pretty pictures
All this useless beauty here for free
I'll take a number while you're taking me under
All this useless beauty here for me
You're so lovely be my wallpaper
I can never just control myself
You're so lovely be my wallpaper
What possessed you to expose yourself?
You're unreachable you're untouchable
I know I'll never know you now
It's unbelievable it's inconceivable
That I would love you anyhow
You're so lovely be my wallpaper
What possessed you to expose yourself?
You're so lovely be my wallpaper
I can never just control myself
You're so lovely be my wallpaper
I imagine I can smell your hair
You're so lovely be my wallpaper
I know you'll never know or care

Whatever Happened

Whatever happened to that girl in my math class?
Whatever happened to her?
I might know her face but I don't have a picture
Whatever happened to her?
Does she remember what I remember?
She wouldn't know my name
She had his baby, I think so, maybe
Whatever happened to her?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened to her?
Her with the blue eyes, her with the short hair
Whatever happened to her?
Whatever happened to Mechanical Nancy?
That was a push on a rope
She's so happy, laughing at me
From under the microscope
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened to her?
Her with the blue dress, her with the brown eyes
Whatever happened to her?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Her with the green eyes, her with the blue tattoo
I walked among you
You looked right through me
And never knew me at all
I went to your parties
Danced in the corners
With losers and loners that crawl
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened to you?
If I'm in your movie
It's when you're rewinding
Whatever happened to you?

Big Guitar

Me and my big guitar
Are playing here
Any time you want to listen
Anything you want to hear
It starts up here inside my head
Now it's on your stereo
Here I am, all in bits
I'm your little radio
Am I so crazy for thinking about it
When I'm here playing alone?
It's just crazy to think about it
'Cause I'm overgrown
Overgrown
Somewhere out there
There's big hit records
Bobbing like corks in the sea
Pull one out, Champagne's a poppin'
Now you can forget about me
I'll go crazy if I think about it
Agent on the telephone
I'm an ass to think about it
'Cause I'm overgrown
Overgrown

Doppel Gänger

I wish that I looked like you
I could be your evil twin
All these women would love me
But they won't know where I've been
Anything you ever say
Anything you ever do
Might be comin' out of me
Might be comin' out of you
I would give you my money
I would give you my soul
I would give you my everything
Just to be your doppelgänger
Your doppelgänger
I wish that I had your hair
I wish that I had your eyes
On occasion I'd peek in my pants
And find I'm the perfect size
You wish that you had my brain
Because you're afraid of the dark
You may be dimmer
But your life is a walk in the park
I would give you my money
I would give you my soul
I would give you my everything
Just to be your doppelgänger
Your doppelgänger
You're just one in a million stars that shine
You're just one in a billion souls like mine
I wish that I looked like you
I would be your evil twin
I'd always have muscles
I'd always be thin
I wish that I had your smile
I wish that I had your name
I would drive around your car
And you would take the blame
I would give you my money
I would give you my soul
I would give you my everything
Just to be your doppelgänger
Your doppelgänger

Can't Go There
04:04
|

Red rose in the big city
Everything else is dirt
That's me on the balcony
Looking down her shirt
Kiss me on the rooftop, baby
Where everyone can see
"Hey, you, down below:
Look at me, look at me, look at me"
It won't be me
It can't be you
Can't go there
It wouldn't be good
Take it slow, she won't show,
She's attracted to the glow
"Just a little taste of you
Nobody else needs to know"
Overt and obviously
Anywhere instead
Here's a thought: me and you
Forever locked in my head
It won't be me
It can't be you
We can't go there
It wouldn't be good
It can't be me
It won't be you
That would be bad
It wouldn't be good
I have waited all my life
For someone like you to notice me
And now I can't go
Can't go
Can't go there

Cul-De-Sac
04:05
|
|||
|
I have done the math
It's not bad
Certain calculations follow
Don't be sad
So we add it all up
And we print out the page
Look at our lives in rows and columns
It's so strange
When did I ever let you down?
Why do I always let you down, now?
Who gets the house?
Who takes the car?
Who gets to keep the broken hearts
In the specimen jar?
But you're doin' all right
You smell like a rose
I just wanted you to suffer
I suppose
When did I ever let you down?
Why do you always let me down, now?
Kick a tire, slam a door
We've been down this road before
We've come too far we can't go back
We have reached our cul-de-sac
I am done with math
And I don't feel bad
But certain calculations follow
Certain calculations follow

Everything Is Platinum
02:26
|

|
Counting all her Valentines
One by one
Hasn't broken any hearts
But the day's not done
Set everything
To maximum
'Cause everything
Is platinum
Sixteen and beautiful
Set on "stun"
Hard to choose a Valentine
When you only get one
Set everything
To maximum
'Cause everything
Is platinum

Forgotten Phoenix
04:25

|
It's snowing here in Boston
Don't know why that even matters
Somehow something tells me that it does
She's shaken up my memory
Like dice upon a table
They're bouncing while my head begins to buzz
Oh, I don't recall
Now I've forgotten Phoenix
Forgotten Tempe, too
But I know why the desert ran away with you
Now I've forgotten Phoenix
That's where it all began
I blocked it from my memory and ran
Oh, I don't recall
I might as well just face it
She's never coming back
All I have are photos of her standing in the sand
When I try to find her
She always slips away
Like holding cups of water in my hand
Oh, I don't recall
Now I've forgotten Phoenix
Forgotten Chandler, too
But I know why the desert ran away with you
Now I've forgotten Phoenix
That's all you need to know
I packed up all my memories to go
Oh, I don't recall
Now I've forgotten Phoenix
Forgotten Tempe, too
But I know why the desert ran away with you
Now I've forgotten Phoenix
That's where it all began
I blocked it from my memory and ran
Oh, I don't recall

This Jane is so delicious
This Jane wants me in her town
And that Jayne's the next door neighbor
Wantin' me to go down
For the love of Jane
And the love of Jayne
For the love of Jane
And the love of Jayne
This Jane is cute and flexible
This Jane plays an SG guitar
And that Jayne is so dependable
She'll never be the star
For the love of Jane
And the love of Jayne
For the love of Jane
And the love of Jayne
Oh, Jane
My Jayne

I know a place that'll set your heart on fire
It's a long, long way but baby get ready to go
Pack your bags take one last look in the mirror
There's no looking back on the road to your new home
Your super, super, super
Nova Home
Your super, super, super

I know a place with a church that's got two spires
It's a long, long, way but baby you're ready to go
Veritas, Unitas, Caritas, all together
Go and meet your new best friends in your new home
Your super, super, super

Room With a View
04:33

See how it shines
Gleaming steel in double lines
I have a room with a view
And down below
I watch the Hudson River flow
I have a room with a view
I can't go up
I can't get down
If I stay here
On my knees to pray for rain
Nothing of me will remain
And if I fall
They'll find me then, hair and all
No need for me to explain
I can't go up
I can't get down
I can't go up
I gotta get down
No parachute
No hero comes in a spider suit
There's only one thing to do
So off I go
No regrets, look out below
I had a room with a view
I can't go up
I can't get down
I can't go up
I gotta get down
I can't go up
I'm comin' down
