I'm not really here you can barely see me and I don't hold my head up anymore bad decisions hallucinations I've seen it all
on television it's getting to me it's all in my head you're selling me and you don't care you've got what's left of me all the rest is ruined bad decisions hallucinations I've seen it all on television it's getting to me sitting at a traffic light
on my way back home man my night's been blown it's a terrible thing it's getting to me we all say things that we don't want to we've got places to be and that's what bothers me the most I'm wrecked but I'm feeling better now bad decisions hallucinations I've seen it all on television it's getting to me I headed for the bar that night and never made it home
I called you on the phone and listened to it ring it's getting to me

you wouldn't want to hear
what I don't sing
just hit the highlights
with me
I'm the man who has everything
you can't bring me down
I'm all over this thing
there is no real me
no real me
I'm the man who has everything
everything's all right today
tomorrow's a different thing
and that's all right
fine by me
we're gonna make it big
we're stranger than intended
let's mend some fences
let's never end it
I'm the man who has everything
everything's all right today
tomorrow's a different thing
and that's all right
fine by me
I want to make
something simple
I want to complicate it
make it sinful
did you hear what I said
I'm the man who has everything
everything's all right today

we're gonna spend the whole night waiting
I'll write a song about you
there's just no way of overstating
I bet I do it pretty soon
your reflection in the window
the way you wear your clothes let's be alone
give me an inch and I'll take a million
you'll see I know you'll see
I was a freak and I guess I'm still one
you talk about you I'll talk about me
your reflection in the window
the way you wear your clothes
let's be alone
we drove through the disaster it's the most beautiful thing we drove through the disaster it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
for every this is great there's a lot of I believe
should we preserve the modern
you talk about me I'll talk about me
Levi knows that I'm a goner
your reflection in the window
the way you wear your clothes
let's be alone
we drove through the disaster it's the most beautiful thing we drove through the disaster it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
go back and start it again

another heavy night ahead
it was just another day
I fought I failed I fell in half
I hate when I'm this way
in spite of everything
you came on so beatiful
you said that you don't get me
do you have to be so damn logical
don't let this confuse you
let your feelings do you
it's a great big worthless world
but don't let this confuse you now
I'm not myself anymore
you are so beautiful
my thoughts are not my own
they're distant and intangible
Levi knows what's going on
he's always been deeper than I am
I feel like I been losing sleep
I been walking on my hands
don't let this confuse you
let your feelings do you
it's a great big worthless world
but don't let this confuse you now
my mind is almost empty
man I been acting really weird
I'll be all right in a hundred days
I'm just saying what you want to hear
another heavy night ahead
this was just the cruelest day
I fought I failed I fell in half
I hate when I'm this way
don't let this confuse you
let your feelings do you
it's a great big worthless world
but don't let this confuse you now

peppermint
and bitterness
sickening and sweet
cinammon and stress
peppermint
and wintergreen
my heart makes this sound
my heart's kerosene
what a drag it gets to be
what a drag
whiskey-luck
and misery
it's a weird disguise
like a beard of bees
peppermint
and wintergreen
my heart makes this sound
my heart's kerosene
what a drag it gets to be
what a drag
we drove in silence and abstract
I'd go crazy without you
I'd be lost
without you
whiskey-luck
and misery
it's a weird disguise
like a beard of bees
peppermint
and wintergreen
my heart makes this sound
my heart's kerosene
what a drag it gets to be
what a drag
it's complicated
everything's this way
let's just let this go
that's all I had to say

and it snowed and snowed

I know what I know
I've got my ways
and I know and I know

I feel strange I feel strange
I've got some faith

a graceful day
on the veranda
she stared at me
just like a camera
here comes the panic
some things never change hey
she drew orange flowers
with a black pen
the sun hung in the sky
like a lemon
here comes the panic
some things never change hey
she said there is
no tomorrow
reckless and feckless
and hollow
here comes the panic
some things never change hey
I don't know why
and I don't know how
and it damn near brought me down
I don't have time for this right now
here comes the panic
some things never change hey
all kinds of panic
this has to change hey
