HELP ME
ALKALINE TRIO
Here you'll find me in between
Heaven and hell my dear where nothings what it
seems
Its just as well up here I'm givin' you the creeps
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown
Saw you standing there
Outside the music hall you come out for some air
Until your curtain call and everyone just stared
When you took the stage that night
Somethings not right
You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobodies home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long
And they sing along
Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Here I'll find you in between
Heaven and hell again where nothings what it seems
It's just as well my friend
I'm givin' me the creeps
And a farewell to arms and legs and heads and heart
You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobody's home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long
And they sing along
Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Take me from this hell
And they sing along
La la la la la la la la [x4]
You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone
You left all the lights burning but nobodies home
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long
And they sing along
Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me
Save me from myself
Help me, help me won't you?
Sing me, sing me one last song
Help me, help me, somebody help me (la la la la la la
la la)
Save me from myself
Take me from this hell
STORY OF A LONELY GUY
BLINK-182
Push it out, fake a smile
Avert disaster just in time
I need a drink, cause in a while
Worthless answers from friends of mine
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore
Girls possess me but they're never mine
I made my entrance
Avoided hazards
Checked my engine I fell behind
I fell behind
She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move cause I'm a fuckin' boy
Remember when I was in
The grocery store, now's my time
Lost the words, lost the nerve,
Lost the girl, left the line
I would wish upon a star
But that star, it doesn't shine
So read my book, with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy
Who fell behind
She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move cause I'm a fuckin' boy
She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move cause I'm still
Just a stupid, worthless boy
WAKE UP EXHAUSTED
ALKALINE TRIO
I wake up exhausted it's not morning
it's back to sleep to re-dream me
we're alone and we're happy
but there you are, angry with me
are you all right? I can stand up straight
are you all right? can you get me off your mind?
I hated this city before you came here
so let go and move on
we're strangers, we're not friends
I hate this and I hate them
this city's exhausted and it's wound up
soon to be a place that's just filled up
and I found out that you're angry
and you're sorry you ever met me
are you all right? I can stand up straight
are you all right? can you get me off your mind?
I am alright I can stand up straight
are you alright can you get me off your mind
I wake up exhausted it's not morning
it's back to sleep to re-dream me
we're alone and we're happy
but there you are, angry with me
are you all right? I can stand up straight
I am all right, I can get you off my mind.
I am all right, I can stand up straight
are you all right? can you get me off your mind,
can you get me off your mind,
can you get me off your mind?
SHE LIED TO THE F.B.I.
ALKALINE TRIO
She lied, she lied to the FBI
When she told them she was innocent
A victimless crime, and I don't give a shit
I'd never drop dime on my baby
Though she gave it to the FBI
I lied, I lied to the FBI
When I told 'em that I did it to save her hide
Told 'em that the plan for the heist was mine
Now I'm stuck and I'm fucked, doing federal time
Locked deep inside I'm doing time for you
Just got the letter saying we are through
And I don't give a damn if I get out again
I'm doing time for you
She lied, she lied to the FBI
When she told them she was innocent
A victimless crime, and I don't give a shit
I'd never drop dime on my baby
Though she gave it to the FBI
I lied, I lied to the FBI
When I told 'em that I did it to save her hide
Told 'em that the plan for the heist was mine
Now I'm stuck and I'm fucked, doing federal time
Locked deep inside I'm doing time for you
Just got the letter saying we are through
And I don't give a damn if I get out again
I'm doing time for you
My mistake
I will take this secret with me to the grave
And I hope and I pray
That I'll see her face again one day
My mistake
I will take this secret with me to the grave
And I hope and I pray
I'll see her face again one day
She lied, she lied to the FBI
She lied, she lied to the FBI
She lied, she lied to the FBI
She lied, she lied to the FBI
She lied to the FBI
PRIVATE EYE
ALKALINE TRIO
I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick
senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi
New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel eleven
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me
Your private eye
