Ataraxia (Media Intro) Lyrics
4 ContributorsAtaraxia (Media Intro) LyricsToday, medical science recognizes that some folks aren't helped by relaxing exercises
In cases of difficult tension and nervous apprehension, doctors are now prescribing medicine
It makes those who fear they're about to quit feel like they're ready to begin
Bidding their darkened spirits goodbye for the calming peace of a cloudless sky
Normal Like You Lyrics
8 ContributorsNormal Like You Lyrics(One, two, three, four)
Yeah, they said you called me maybe yesterday
I don't even have the strength to pick up the phone
You wouldn't even know me since you went away
The Prozac doesn't do it for me anymore
Yeah, you ought to take your medication everyday
Be a good dog, live life in a wonderful way
Tell me why you want to be blind
I don't wanna be normal like you
I know now everyday
I get closer to the place inside
Where I can be normal too
I heard those stupid people talk about you again
I just have to laugh to keep from hurting bad
Their simple minds just cannot seem to understand
You are neurotic and depressed it doesn't mean that you're sad
You walk around oblivious to everything
Wear that party dress and black mascara
Like you're queen for the day
Tell me why you want to be blind
I don't wanna be normal like you
I know now everyday
I get closer to the place inside
Where I can be normal too
I will never be normal like you
You walk around oblivious to everyone
I see you walking slow and simple underneath the big black sun
Tell me why you want to be blind
I don't wanna be normal like you
I know now everyday
I get closer to the place inside
Where I can be complacent
Yes, I get closer to the place inside
Where I can be sedated
Yes, I get closer to the place inside
Where I can be normal too
(I can be normal too)
I can be normal like you
Maybe normal like you
I can be normal like you
I Will Buy You a New Life Lyrics
[Intro]
Mmmm....oh
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Here is the money that I owe you
Yeah, so you can pay the bills
I will give you more when I get paid again
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas
[Bridge]
Yeah
I know we will never look back
Yeah
[Verse 2]
You say you wake up crying
Yes, and you don't know why
You get up and you go lay down inside my baby's room
Yeah, I guess I'm doing okay
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe he actually thinks that I am really alive
[Chorus]
I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life
Yes I will
[Verse 3]
Yes, I know all about that other guy
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know about all the times before
With that obsessive little rich boy
They might make you think you're happy
Yeah, maybe for a minute or two
They can't make you laugh
No, they can't make you feel the way that I do
[Chorus]
I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life
Yeah
I will buy you a new life
[Bridge]
Yeah
I know we can never look back
Yeah
No
Will you please let me stay the night
(No one will ever know)
Will you please let me stay the night
(No one will ever know)
No one will ever know
[Chorus] X 2
I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect, shiny, and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life [To Fade]
Amphetamine Lyrics
7 ContributorsAmphetamine LyricsShe came out west to find the sun
She lost her name, but found a new one
Amy goes to school all day
But at night in the neighborhood they call her Amphetamine
She's perfect in that fucked up way
That all the magazines seem to want to glorify these days
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like she used to be happy with the girl inside
Yea, she looks so bored sometimes
Yea, She has that super pale skin and those soft green eyes
She looks like she could have been happy
In a better life
She came out west just to break away clean
From her family and her friends and a little girl's dreams
All she wants to do every night is to sit beside my window
And listen to the sirens
She's perfect in that fucked up way
That all the magazines seem to want to glorify these days
She looks like a teenage anthem
And she looks like she could have been happy in a another life
Ooo, in another life
Ooo, in another life
Yea, in another life
Oh!
She came out west just to break the spell
After three long years in a marriage from hell
Six months clean, living sober and right
The doctors tell her everything will be alright
Yeah, you just take your pill
And everything will be alright
Yeah, you just take your pill
And everything will be alright
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like a magazine girl
She looks like a teenage anthem
Like she used to be happy in another world
She looks like a teenage anthem
She is happy with the girl inside
She looks like a teenage anthem
Looks like she could have been happy in another life
Ooo, in another life
Happy in another life
Ooo, in another life
Happy in another life
Ooo, in another life
Happy in another life
Ooo, in another life
Happy in another life
Met her at a party and I took her home
She is the saddest girl that I have ever known
Yea, she wakes me up in the middle of the night
Just to tell me everything will be alright
Amy smiles at me, tells me everything will be alright
Yea, Amy smiles at me, tells me everything will be alright
Yea, I tell myself the same damn thing every day
Ooo, everything will be alright
Ooo, everything will be alright
Ooo, everything will be alright
Ooo
White Men in Black Suits Lyrics
6 ContributorsWhite Men in Black Suits Lyrics(One, two, three, four)
I am just a boy working in a record store
Yes I moved to San Francisco just to see what I could be
I am a loser geek, crazy with an evil streak
Yes, I do believe there is a violent thing inside of me
She is just a girl, she is doing what she can
She dances topless when she's not playing in her band
Such a pretty girl, happy in an ugly place
Watching all the pretty people doing lots of ugly things
I think it's getting better for the two of us
Yes, I think it's getting better almost everyday
I could give a damn for what those people say
All I wanna do is lose myself in your room
All you want is just a slow fuck in the afternoon
I still see those scary guys when I am all alone at night
I kiss the ring you gave me, then I swing with all my might
I think it's getting better for the two of us
I think it's getting easier for you and me to agree
That the white men in the black suits, they are diminishing
Yes, I think they are diminishing
Yes, I think that they diminish you
And they diminish me
I think they are diminishing
You known sometimes I hear those people say
Yeah, she takes the bus over to the north side of the city
She goes to work stripping for the rich white men
All the words they give her make her feel so soft and pretty
She wears them but they never ever seem to fit
Yes, I think it's getting better for the two of us
Yes, I think it's getting better in the worst way
I refuse to be afraid of almost anyone
Afraid of all the things they do, all the words that they say
Let's live the way we want to live and hope they go away
Ooh, I really hope they go away
Ooh, I really hope they find a nice place
I hope they find it somewhere
I hope they go away
I can still hear all those people say
I can still hear all those people say
I can hear those people say
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can still hear all those people say
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can still hear all those people say
Sunflowers Lyrics
6 ContributorsSunflowers LyricsI know where you go when you want to fall
Why do you want to be broken?
Ooh, I know where you go when you want to fall
Yes, your friends they tell me everything
Yes, I know where you go
Yes, I know what you do
Yes, I know the awful things you say
And who you say them to
Yes, I know where you go
Yes, I know what you do
I know how you feel you get crazy inside
They say it runs in the family
I know just how you feel when you get crazy inside
Your mom she said that you are just like me
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your shaky hands
Yes, I think you think I'm stupid
You don't think I understand
Yes, I see you and I see myself when I was a younger man
When you were a child
You were happy and free
You were my reason to live
I would die when you smiled at me
I can still see you
I remember you painting sunflowers in your room
I know where you go when you want to fall
Hey, don't you want to be happy?
Yeah
I know where you go when you want to fall
Your useless friends they tell me everything
Everything
I see you run around in circles
I see you digging your own hole
I see you fight the fights that you just can't win
I see you losing self control
What it does to me deep down inside I hope you will never know
When you were a child
You were happy and free
You were my reason to live
I would die when you smiled at me
I can still see you
Painting flowers on the wall
I remember you happy
I remember it all
Yeah, when you were a child
You were happy and free
You were my reason to live
I would die when you smiled at me
I can still see you
I remember you painting sunflowers in your room
Oh, Sunflowers in your room
(Sunflowers in your room)
Yeah, Sunflowers in your room
(Yeah, sunflowers in your room)
All I want to remember
Pretty pictures on the wall
I remember you happy
I remember it all
All I want to remember
All I want to remember
Sunflowers in your room
Oh, sunflowers in your room
Oh, sunflowers in your room
Yeah, sunflowers in your room
