Lyrics

Goodbye Innocence

get up
ya gotta see the sunshine
it's better in the day time
so just open up your eyes and see it

c'mon
ya gotta lotta life to live
ya gotta lotta love to give
even if it's just a buncha new age junk

goodbye innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
..you went away
a rainy cloud has followed me around
so why do you have to go away so soon?

i know
it ain't a bowl of cheerios
we get a little weary-oh
and there's nearly every kind of eery

go on
i know ya know the way it is
you're gonna have to learn to deal
'cause there's no such thing as real unless there is

goodbye innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
..you went away
a rainy cloud has followed me around
so why do you have to go away so soon?

time's such a cunning thief
steal your dreams
cause you grief
no sense in crying 'bout tomorrow
sometimes you just have got to stand there waving

goodbye innocence
tell me when the world stopped makin sense..
..you went away
a rainy cloud has followed me around
so why do you have to go away so soon?

Ya Had Me Goin'

i know i'ma fool for you
but i'm leavin' that's the truth

i've been gettin' the run around
you lie to me and you let me down
i don't know what you want from me
but baby i won' be finding out

you come back and i wonder why
you got sick of the other guy
i found out what you did to me
but baby you'll never see me cry
you'll never see me cry

ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby
ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby

you don't say when you're gonna leave
you don't mean what you say to me
you made a promise you never kept
and baby i just can't let it be, i just can't let it be

ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby
ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby

i know i'm a fool for you
but i'm leaving and that's the truth

just can't let, no

ya had me goin', goin crazy
goin', goin' baby
had me goin', goin' crazy

found out what you did to me
but baby you'll never see me cry
you'll never see me cry

ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby
ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby
ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby
ya had me goin', goin' crazy
ya had me goin' but i'm goin' baby

Distracted

waking up on sunday morning
everything is in its place
people skirting past my window
i could never keep the pace
somewhere near a phone is ringing
no one's there to take the call
i can hear the cellos singing
don't know what tomorrow's bringing
i don't mind at all

i'm so distracted
the simple fact is
i need to practice letting go
i'm so distracted
the simple fact is
i'm too attracted by the glow
distracted, distracted...

i remember things once were different
a long, long time ago
i remember laughing
at the little things i used to know
i would leave the outside world behind me
if i only could
if i could keep myself together
realize that things were better
it would do me good

i'm so distracted
the simple fact is
i need to practice letting go
i'm so distracted
the simple fact is
i'm too attracted by the glow
distracted, distracted...

you never feel it in a cartoon bubble
you better make that drink a double
there you go, you're gone, you're gone
there you go, you're gone, you're gone

i'm so distracted
the simple fact is
i need to practice letting go
i'm so distracted
the simple fact is
i'm too attracted by the glow
distracted, distracted...

Make Me

make me, go ahead and make me
you're never gonna fo-fo-fo-fo-forsake me
why don't you make me

step into the light, say goodbye tonight
there'll always be another day to walk in the sun
sometimes everyone has a hand on a gun
another day another dollar
who will lead and who will follow

beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse to death

make me, go ahead and make me
you're never gonna forsake me
why don't you make me

step in to the light, say goodbye tonight
there'll always be another chance to do it again
from the fire into the pan, from your pocket into your hand
another day another penny
never thought we'd have so many

beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse to death

make me, go ahead and make me
you're never gonna forsake me
why don't you make me

The Ol' College Try

alex introduced me to the brother of his roommate sue
whose friend marie was kind of sweet on me
i met marie but she was already with mark
but mark was friends with kate
and kate thought you and me should date
you look cold so here's my sweater, i'll get us a beer
can't believe we're only meeting in out senior year

let's give it the ol' college try
six degrees is good enough tonight

looking from the curtains of a motel by the hour
one thing lead to another and it ended in a shower
naked in another town i still forget that night
stranges with six names in hearts they hold so tight
maybe we can make this better than the night before
let's go out tomorrow night until for evermore

we'll give it the ol' college try
'couse six degrees is good enough tonight

years flew by when we were young
and sometimes it was good
but looking back on where we've been i wonder
where we stood

we gave it the ol' college try
but six degrees won't get us through the night
we gave it the ol' college try
but six degrees won't get us through the night

Nothin' Will Ever Change

baby i know ya think about goin'
leavin' it all behind
somewhere a little easier on the eye

maybe ya think ya gotta get mad
or maybe it's all a game
maybe you're just the fizz in his cheap champagne

we make it up and go along
trying hard to explain
but

nothin' will ever change
nothin' will ever change
makin' the best of a bad situation
to find that your train is just leavin' the station
but don't be afraid
everybody knows
that's no way begin

what if ya suddenly came into money
what if your dad was queen (your highness)
what if your mommy sang yellow submarine

maybe you'll find a way to be happy
with marmalade and tea
maybe you'll find the pearl inside of me

we make it up and go along
trying hard to explain
but

nothin' will ever change
nothin' will ever change
makin' the best of a bad situation
to find that your train is just leavin' the station
but don't be afraid
everybody knows
that's no way begin

Don't Let It Go

revin' up the chevy and we're ready to go
betty's gettin' heavy and she's startin' to show
you can never tell her daddy that we did it in the back of his caddy
tell me that he's never gonna know

maybe we can make it to the border today
if we get to california we can stay in LA
we'll be crashin here in venice with my brother's buddy dennis and then it's..
gonna get a little better by the minute

oh don't let it go
shake it when ya wanna make it
break it when ya wanna fake it and ya wanna go

betty went and lef' me and i look like a clown
i was savin' all my pennies while she painted the town
it's a bummer i discovered that my lover has another above her
did i forget to mention he's a drummer
(a drummer)

so i'm lookin' for a woman who can carry me home
and then maybe when i find her she can pollish my chrome
cause my betty wasn't ready and i'm lookin' for a girl to go steady
but only if she likes a little petty

oh don't let it go
shake it when ya wanna make it
break it when ya wanna fake it and ya wanna go

ya gotta shake it if ya wanna bring the baroness home
maybe i'm mistaken but if you can catch a tiger a toe
never let it go

ya think ya got me runnin' like a snake in the grass
but i'm venomous and yes ya better cover yer ass 'cause i'm comin'
lovin' like i'm livin' in the oven

oh don't let it go
shake it when ya wanna make it
break it when ya wanna fake it and ya wanna go

ya gotta shake it for the eeny meeny miney and moe
maybe i'm mistaken but if you can bring the baroness home
never let it go

Private Line

call me up anytime
you can use the private line
at the bar in the pink
i won't ask you what you think

don't you wanna know
if our love will grow
when the dominos
all fall in a row
i don't mind it's fine tonight
tomorrow let me know

though we'd find last week all day
please don't lead me on that way
when you're near, hourly
can't you see we're meant to be

don't you wanna know
if our love will grow
when the dominos
all fall in a row
i don't mind it's fine tonight
tomorrow let me know

don't you wanna know

on the couch, turn it on
can i sit with you turned on
i don't care if it's late
good thing come to those who wait

don't you wanna know
if our love will grow
when the dominos

don't you wanna know
if our love will grow
when the dominos
all fall in a row
i don't mind it's fine tonight
tomorrow let me know

Sukaz Are Born Every Minute

you spat me out and sucked me in
this time i won't get stuck again
fall and fall, ever smile
playing me all the while

sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
i get to say when we're finished
and i won't be fooled again

i stuffed your things in a garbage bag
this time i'll make you take them back
catching on a little late
making up for the wait

sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
baby i'm in it to win it
and i won't be fooled again

fall and fall, ever smile
playing me all the while

sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
i get to say when we're finished

sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
and i won't be fooled
sukaz are born every minute
baby i'm in it to win it
and i won't be fooled again
