NADA SURF - HIGH / LOW (1996)
If I fell
Down a big hole
Would you tell
How do you know
It's a deepening well
Like the big o
I know, I know
It's a bad scene to be whole
It's a bad dream I hope
Marie Marie
To feel, to feel
They're following me
Marie Marie
Go
If I painted a tear
Would you figure it out
Would it make matters clear
Would it shed some doubt
It's been happening for years
It's a roundabout
I know, I know
It's a bad scene to be whole
It's a bad dream I hope
Marie Marie
To feel, to feel
They're following me
Marie Marie
To feel
Pull back from the front
There's a bigger gap than you thought
A bigger trap in which to be caught
I've got to get away from the bricks
All these straight lines are making me sick
There's a way to drive, I see it once in a while
I watch the tail-lights and memorize
I won't be too scared, I won't be too tired
I'm becoming hard-wired
Feeling hazy, waking up inertia
I'm having dreams I'm in the wrong picture
Am I older than you thought
Did you get less than you bought
There's a way to drive, I see it once in a while
I watch the tail-lights and memorize
I won't be too scared, I won't be too tired
I'm becoming hard-wired
Dan you wanna roast it dan
We're gonna kick it in the head if we can
Me I'm just, me I'm just, I never got to read the plan
Dan you wanna roast it dan
You know I never know the right way around
I need a map, I need a map
I need a map to get us out of this town
Now your hand is flashing danger
I'm underdressed and you're getting stranger
I can't tell you I'm incomplete
You're gonna step on me
I'm head of the class
I'm popular
I'm a quarter back
I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch
I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I got a cheerleader chick
Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper
I'm the party star
I'm popular
I've got my own car
I'm popular
I'll never get caught
I'm popular
I make football bets
I'm a teachers pet.
I purpose we support a one month limit on going steady
I think It will keep you both more able to deal with weird situation
And get to know more people
I think if you're ready to go out with Jonny
Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
He wont mind he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating
And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
I'm sure hell l did
Everyone will appreciate it
You so novel what a good idea
You can keep you time to your self
You don't need date insurance
You can go out with whoever you want to
Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
Iif you'll just listen to my plan
THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY
I try to open my eyes to the days going by
But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
I'm hypnotized
I got the poison in me but it's amplified
Amplified
Step in my shoes, wait 'till you see the big flash now
Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
You know that I know that you know that I know that you know
I want you to kiss me
I want you to kiss me
I try to open my eyes to the days going by
But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
I'm hypnotized
No TV
Stalemate when do I jump out of the cake
Stalemate when do we admit it's a fake
Stalemate when do I jump out of the cake
I'm the nervous watcher
And I watch
Time to turn it on
But i turn it off
70% of the time I watch
Useless and over the line
Stuck
Stalemate
Jailbreak
When do we admit it's not safe
It's not safe in a jail
It's not safe in a safe
When do we admit it's not safe
Should have been a wreck
Might have been a wreck
I don't know how it can last
I don't know why it doesn't crash
Stalemate Stalemate
When do I jump out of the cake
I can see the things she does for me
I'm living in a treehouse
I live in constant fear
Awakening must be near
I'm sleeping in a dreamhouse
Up in the trees
A tine in the fork in the road is pointing to heaven
But the sky is old
A tine in the fork in the road is pointing at nothing
Cause it's all been sold
I live with you
To die in a jamais vu
I love you
But this isn't true
I can see the things she does for me
I'm living in a treehouse
I live in constant fear
Awakening must be near
I'm sleeping in a dreamhouse
Waiting for the end
Every afternoon i wasted being mad at You
The things I never said
The things I can't say tomorrow
Bury me in sorrow
Cover me in joy
After death i'll think of You somehow
I'll have an eternity to think about tomorrow
I beg of You tomorrow
Bury me in sorrow
Cover me in joy
Take a look at what's been done
The killing wound is the thousandth cut
A dead turtle on the beach puts my happiness out of reach
Sea sun sand self
Sea sun sand
Psychic caramel dimulants they're good for the undertow
Better than a psychotic stimulant
Word to your mother you know
But it's a drag you know sometimes
And it drags
Sea sun sand self
Sea sun sand
We will always be the sea
Years will be I, you will see
Now I finally understand the Mother's belly is here with me
Sea sun sand self
Sea sun sand
I'm going deaf and peaceful, i'm going for a walk
The times I have the most to say are the times that I can't talk
Psychic caramel dimulants
They're good for the undertow
Better than a psychotic stimulant
Word to your mother you know
But it's a drag you know sometimes
And it drags
Sea sun sand self
Sea sun sand
Been trying to hear something complete
No microtones and no backbeat
Been trying to be cool ever since high school
Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
I take it back
You're panicking
I take it back
I just don't know
I really thought I wanted to go
But when you're close
You look through me just like a ghost
I like sleeping
I'm only safe when I'm dreaming
I need a new heart
This one's hollow always scheming
You wait for summer
And then you wait for winter
But there's a total lack of splendor
Zen brain
Throw away your crushes
All your childhood crutches away
Super brain
Never scared of nothing
Violence or loving my way
