Cameo

I wrote this song
Waiting for you
To put on your make up
In your dressing room
You’re always soaking up
The lime-light every single night
And I’m left standing off stage right
You like to keep me outta sight
Cause I’m just an extra in the movie adaptation of your life
Lonely boy number two spends all night dreaming of you
And when the credits roll at the end of the show
I’ll be remembered, remembered as just a cameo
I used to have a leading part
But now I’m just an understudy to your heart
Still gotta memorize all those lines
That on the silver screen would make you fall in love with me
Cause I’m just an extra in the movie adaptation of your life
Lonely boy number two spends all night dreaming of you
And when the credits roll at the end of the show
I’ll be remembered, remembered as just a cameo
It’s a sad sad situation, I’ve done all I can to get your attention
But you’re blinded by stage light, can’t hear my curtain call
And I just wanted to shine next to you is all
Oh that’s all
Now the red carpet is your home, and I’m stuck here all alone
Watching you talk to all of your producers on the phone
Can’t help thinking that I didn’t try hard enough
To make you see my name in lights
Cause I’m still an extra in the movie adaptation of your life
Lonely boy #2 spends all night dreaming of you
And when the credits roll at the end of the show
I’ll be remembered, yeah I’ll be remembered, I’ll be remembered
As an extra in the movie adaptation of your life
Lonely boy number two spends all night dreaming of you
And when the credits roll at the end of the show
I’ll be remembered, remembered as just a cameo

Paint by Numbers

Well here the story goes although it’s kind of old I’ll tell it like it’s new
And all you people listening you’ll never ever know
If I’m lying or if I’m telling the truth
So I guess you’ll just have to put your trust in me
A California twenty-something who would never lie
Unless it helps me
Start with black and white so we can take our time
As we color in the empty space
By the number, so you can know the color
That was already picked with perfect taste
Yeah that symmetry it’s killing me and I want someone else to blame
Besides the man who wakes up each and every morning just the same
And he still believes his trust in God will see him through the end
Being blinded by a light’s alright as long as you can sleep at night
What the hell was that that just came over me?
Well, I couldn’t say.
You must say impulsive but I’m really just afraid
that I’ll start spending every single day the exact same way
and I won’t even have a say of where I work, or to what ends
I won’t even be able to choose my friends.
So I’ll up and change the song, make it easy to sing along
you can’t stop me if you wanted to
Now we’re back and mad as hell
Can you tell by the way I yell and the flashy way I dress?
Now I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had before
Yes I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had before
Now we’re back at the start doesn’t seem we got very far
What just happened there? Nobody knows and I don’t care.
I’m already over this song
Fooled you all along and folks don’t you know it’d be so lame
If all of my songs had to stay the same
I don’t want my songs to stay the same
I don’t want my songs to stay the same
I don’t want my songs to stay the same
I don’t want my songs to stay

I’ve been asked so many times before
How I keep all my worries from knockin’ down the door
Well it’s a carefree state of mind
And I can show you how if you give me the time
It’s an old school kind of philosophy
I just do what I want the world to do back to me
It’s as simple as the light of day
So, come on be a karma kid and let the music take you away
And if you think you can get down
With paying it forward and getting it back around
Then my friend you’re in good company
Come on, sanctify your soul and be a karma kid with me
Oh it’s a cycle of endless love
That I bet you only thought existed in imagination
But it’s just so easy man it’ll get you by
That supernatural high
It’s an old school kind of philosophy
I just do what I want the world to do back to me
It’s as simple as the light of day
So, come on be a karma kid and let the music take you away
Yeah if you think you can get down
With paying it forward and getting it back around
Then my friend you’re in good company
Come on, sanctify your soul
And be a karma kid with me
They always ask me why I’m so carefree
Said my philosophy is to live like I’m in Paris
So, bonjour monsieur, don’t you just wanna live like I do?
Not a worry in the world, see I could teach you here are my rules
Fuck what anybody else says, I rule.
And screw a diet, go ahead, eat some fried foods
If you had a bad day man why brood?
Just turn that frown upside down and just smile dude
You know the sayings what goes around comes around
Give a little, get a little, you go down hey I go down
To put it plainly, what all that it’s saying is that
Karma is a bitch until you treat it like a lady
So, here’s what you do yeah you tally all your moves up
When you were a good guy and when you were a douche
Then you add ‘em all up and see which has the most marks in it
That’s how you find out if you can be a karma kid

I may have had my heart broken by a past love
pieces of it torn away like a flash flood
and then it hardened and got scarred and turned black
it might even happen couple times after
so now it's only big enough
to give my love to someone who won't need that much
I pray to God that I find her quicker
before theres nothing really left for me to give her
Lord, build me a tiny woman
Make her nice and small
Lord, build me a tiny woman
she won't have to talk at all
Cause I don't got a lot of love to go giving out at night
I'm a busy man and tiny woman fits me right
I may have had my heart broken by a past love
pieces of it torn away like a flash flood
and then it hardened and got scarred and turned black
it might even happen couple times after
so now it's only big enough
to give my love to someone who won't need that much
I pray to God that I find her quicker
before theres nothing really left for me to give her
Cause I tried them other ones
it worked with none of them
so many failed attempts
cant even number them
I mean it made no sense
had so much fun with them
until I'd take chance
and fall in love with them
thats when them old girls would put the whole world
up on my shoulders with weight I cant hold up
But wait can you hold up lord cause it feels like you ditched me
wont you build a tiny woman that fits me?
I don't got a lot of love to go giving out at night
I'm a busy man and tiny woman fits me right
Oh I know you'll always be true
That is why, tiny woman, just why I love you
You're fun-size, so easy to hide away
I'll save your love for a rainy day
You look cold tiny woman, so wont'cha come inside?
(You looking cold girl, I can't make you warm girl,
whenever, wherever, whatever let's just go girl)
You look cold tiny woman, and I'm a warm place to hide
(And if you play it right, you can even stay tonight
How you like your eggs cooked? Promise that I'll make 'em right)
I put ya in my pocket, feed ya grains of rice
(I ain't a cheapskate, but she a cheap date
I ain't complaining though, keep her for my keepsake)
Lord, build me a tiny woman. I want one tonight. Love me right.
(I can give it get it, tell me is you with it huh, tell me is you with it?)
I don't got a lot of love to go giving out at night
I'm a busy man and tiny woman fits me right
Oh I know you'll always be true
That is why, tiny woman, just why I love you
You're fun-size, so easy to hide away
I'll save your love for a rainy day
(I want to save your love, every time we making love
Baby, is you thinking of us, what you thinking of?)

Escalator

Do you remember the first time that we danced outside?
We were just two kids looking for a place to hide.
We both told our folks that we were driving somewhere else
And ended up at the beach away from everybody else
But that was a year ago, and we just couldn’t hold on
Cause I went to Boston and you stayed home and moved on
And I guess you’re happy with whoever
People say you’re cute together
And I tried to find someone new
But found I’m still all tangled up in you
Woah run around and around, but I never see where
Like I’m trying to catch an escalator stair
Maybe someday you’ll come back and light that spark
We can close our eyes, aim for the sky, and take a shot in the dark.
Do you remember the first time we danced in your room?
To that British band’s song bout love leaving us too soon
And with the speakers low so your parents wouldn’t hear
“I think this song’s about us, babe” I whispered in your ear.
Now next year you’re off to Michigan,
and I’ll, I’ll be stuck here missing you all over again
And I guess you’re happy with whoever
People say you’re cute together
And I tried to find someone new
But found I’m still all tangled up in you
Woah run around and around, but I never see where
Like I’m trying to catch an escalator stair
Maybe someday you’ll come back and light that spark
We can close our eyes, aim for the sky, and take a shot, take a shot in the dark
And I guess you’re happy with whoever
People say you’re cute together
And I tried to find someone new
But found I’m still all tangled up in you
Woah run around and around, but I never see where
Like I’m trying to catch an escalator stair
Maybe someday you’ll come back, light that spark
We can close our eyes, aim for the sky

I Work Alone
03:47

People tell me that I’m too thin
I just don’t let things get under my skin
And all the subway soldiers lining the wall
Every one seems to trip and fall
Just like I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
And we all walk around with our eyes on the ground
And I try not to stare cause I’m told not to care
Just pretend that nobody's there
But, what do we miss going on like this?
It’s cool to be bored but is it cool to be ignored?
I wanna realize a secret in the Brooklyn skies
And it feels like I’ve been looking my whole life
Flashed before my eyes, I nearly died
I can’t get lucky every time
And time again, it’s just a matter of when
I fall asleep standing on my own two feet
And I realize a secret in the Brooklyn skies
I had to trade the headlights for the fireflies
And realize a secret in the Brooklyn skies
I had to trade the headlights, trade the headlights
Trade the headlights, trade the headlights
Trade the headlights, trade the headlights
I want the feeling that I’m reckless and free
And I don’t worry, worry about anything
cause I’m free, finally, free to lose my mind
And I want it. I want it all the time
Til my life is gone, my life is gone
My life is gone and I work alone
I work alone
My life is gone, my life is gone
My life is gone and I work alone
I work alone.
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do,
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

It could be so easy, sing it with me
Arithmetic, baby, one two three
It’d be so easy, sing it with me
Arithmetic, baby, one two three
I’m in the back back back of the class
Rolling up some grass behind my science book
And I keep on getting by cause teacher likes my looks
Oh yeah with a wink and a smile I run with it a mile
Still turn in a paper every once in a while
And get more centerfolds than J. Geils
It’s easy, sing it with me arithmetic baby
One two three, I like to keep it easy but
Now listen to me, yeah listen to me
I was made to move nice and slow
And you were born, born to lose control
Reckless child of rock ‘n roll,
Well I love you baby, I wanna show you the only way I know
By keeping it easy sing it with me, arithmetic babe
One two three, I like to keep it easy so now listen to me
It’s arithmetic babe
In the back back back of your mind
Do you think about me some of the time?
Or have you erased my face from your memory
You worried that you can’t handle the thought of me anymore
Since I broke the frame of your bedroom door?
Or or was it something else that you said?
Did you write it in those letters that I never read?
Cause I was made to move nice and slow
And you were born, born to lose control
Reckless child of rock ‘n roll
I love you baby, yes I love you baby
Well, I love you, yeah and I wanna show ya
Check it.
Sittin' in the back of the class, mind on my math
Staring at the clock praying tick ticka go faster
So I can kick it with Craig, he’s got the grass
And ask about his neighbor Collette she’s got that ass
So, puff puff pass come fast I think I’m hit I grab the spliff give it a kiss
Cause I’m tried to get lifted, pinch myself to make sure I still exist
Take a swig of the fifth and then I toss it to Twister
I’m back back back in your world
Like a bright red flag unfurled
You can’t hang me on the wall
Cause I’ll tear down the ceiling
Make you feel like it’s water you’re breathing
I’m a hundred degrees, I’m about to explode
So tell the people you know to tell the people they know
I’m gonna show ya,
Gonna show you how to move nice and slow
And you can show me, show me how to lose control
Reckless child of rock ‘n roll I love you baby
Yes I love you baby, well I love you
Yeah and I wanna show ya
So let me show ya
The way that I wanna

I'm Out
04:05
|

You underdressed, overrated prima donna little girl
Think with your short skirt you could rule the world
But I’m tired of your mascara'd eyes, your little lip pout
I’m leaving you, babe I’m out
As we drive around town you look at other guys
Pull your sunglasses down as you wink your eye
And I don’t give a shit that you’re hanging out the passenger side
I’m waving goodbye, babe I’m out
I kicked you out on the pavement
Poor little princess ain’t used to this kinda treatment
But you got your red stilletos, daddy’s credit card
I can tell your life is gonna be hard
You’ll be all dramatic, delete my number from your phone
Bitch about me behind my back with your friends from home
Try and turn the whole world against me, but they can see right through
Cause everyday people know you’re bad news
I kicked you out on the pavement
Poor little princess ain’t used to this kinda treatment
But you got your red stilletos, daddy’s credit card
I can tell your life is gonna be hard
I don’t need you, want you
You were so wrong, now your shit’s out on the lawn
I don’t need you want you
I’m leaving you, babe I’m out.

One for the Road

Highway or heaven
I only need one
I’ve never been a greedy man
The road is calling and my wings have fallen
I’m homeless and happy again
I’ve read the scriptures and witnessed a rapture
Can’t say that I was impressed.
If I had my druthers we’d pray to each other
And hope our faith can stand
So if you’re a sinner then join me for dinner
We’ll be judged by our company
And we’ll talk of angels with bright silver bangles
That shine a light down on you and me
You and me
You and me
How come only just some of all of God’s people get to stay in heaven?
What’s heaven? And why’s it so great anyway?
Say, I can find heaven in just about any way.
Just about any way.
