I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
Yeah, atomic, Supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, Pond scum
My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites
"You're so bitter," your complaint
I can't give you anything.
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't know you at all anymore
Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
she's a girl and she's loving me
but distance is my tendency.
I am defeated

You love it. You hate it.
You want to re-create it.
Now, this is here, this is me,
This is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone.
That is what I wanted you to feel.
You love it. You hate it.
You spit it out, the bitter pill.
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill.
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.
I've played this round, I've played your lover.
I've played it out to the hilt.
You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.
you played around, you played me lover,
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill.
You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

Dropped D tuning
It happened fast, it's over quick.
a little dust and the engine kicks.
Did your hands drift down off the wheel'
roll out, hit your windshield
An eyelish or a little bit of sleep' Time stands still.
Just call it now and you're on your way (hey, hey, hey)
All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and waterslide
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice.
Gravity pulls on the power line.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky.
This is a land could eat a man alive.
Say you'd leave it all behind.
There's a radio tower that's egging me on
Back to the place where you never belong.
Where people thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent.
If you had to guess or make bet,
would you place yourself inside of it'
the mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh.
"Tricked again." Let go, okay.

Nothing could bring me further from rougher tide.
We're shifting the dream.
It's charging the sea.
I know where I marked the signs.
Suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it.
I know him well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness who believed in extreme.
That's what keeps me

That's what keeps me down
I say they aren't gonna like me
I say they don't know thier plane
Never left the ground.

Lift me, lift me,
I'll attain my dream.
I lost myself, I lost the,
Heartache calling me.
I lost myself in sorrow.
I lost myself in pain.
I lost myself in gravity.
Memory, leave, leave, leave.
(Chorus) x 2
In my hands my eyes are still
I walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it.
Wait for this to take me,
It longed for my release.
Waited for the calling,
To leave, leave
Leave, leave, leave, leave
Leavin', Leavin'

I can't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
Move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
Move across the room
With heart full of glue, I'm stronger than you think
Oh my peer,
Your venier is wearing thin and cracking.
The surface and forms underneath,
Underneath is lacking
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
You move across, innocence lost,
All static and desire,
You're blue in the face from a makeup case,
You set yourself on fire
You strip down, lay yourself out
I know you can't fake it,
But are you tired and naked'
Are you tired and naked' Well,
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked

Lyrics:
I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree.
I'll strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed.
I'll ply the tar of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if I choose your sanctuary.
I'll want to wash you with my hair.
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
and find elixirs hidden there.
I'll eat the lotus and peyote.
I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing.
I'll want the secrets of the temple.
I'll want the finger with the ring.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if you made me your religion.
I'll give all the room you need.
I'll be the drawing of your breath.
I'll be cup if you should bleed.
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea.
I'll be the lights that guide you inland.
I'll be the visions you will see.
Visions you will see.
You will see.
You will see.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
EmYou're coming Conto something Gso fast, so Gnumb
that you can't even Cfeel.
You're drinking the raw Drano baby,
You do-si-do, saddo
You're you in cartilage, shark-eyed, shock horror, all present tense,
and boy your blood is running cold.
Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me,
this is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone, this is past,
you cast yourself cast, passed by, gone down fast, you say,
FYou say that Gyou hate it,
Fyou want to Gre-create it
EmI've been Caround, GI've been your Dlover.
Emm C F
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
EmYou're coming Conto something Gso fast, so Gnumb
that you can't even Cfeel.
