Wasting My Time

Out on the highway
I wave at people hoping they wave back
I tried to live my way
I found it hard enough just staying alive
water in the river
it goes down, down, down, down
trying to be even
with the water around
I wouldn't mind wasting my time
trying to do something I love
I wouldn't mind wasting my life
trying to find someone that I love
I've got a headache
all this thinking's driving me insane
I better take a break
but I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop
what's the point of living if my dreams won't come true?
and what's the good in loving if I can't be loving you?
I thought by now I'd be settled in
I find myself on the run again

There was a time long ago
I could get by on talent alone
but I can't now
I gotta do work
and that's alright
I never had to try
I just winged it and I got by
but I can't now
I gotta do work
and that's alright
gotta do work
gotta do work yeah yeah
I throw excuses all around
I got bad habits dragging me down
I'm getting rid of them now
I'm doing work
and that's alright
I really wanna party with you
it's the only thing I wanna do
but I can't now
I gotta do work
and that's alright

I had a dinosaur
and I kept it in the garage
I fed him steak and chips
he slept under my father's doge
he said "hey kid, wanna hear me roar?"
ROAR ROAR
now let me hear you roar
I knew a geeky girl
she looked kind of like Bradford Cox
she gave the best high fives
and she always wore purple socks
she said "yo James, burgers and fries
do you realize? realize?"
If I could go back in time
I would love to see them again
I would stop trying to impress
all the cool kids that didn't wanna be my friend
I would want to be weird again
cause all the weird kids were better friends
I would want to be weird again
cause all the weird kids were better friends

I think you've had enough to drink
I see you leaning over the sink
as you fill your solo cup
I'm not gonna leave you alone
you say you want to party on
I think you're already gone
I won't let you pass out on the lawn
and I'm not gonna leave you alone
you don't want me hanging around
you say I'm killing your buzz
but if I have to drag you out
I'll do it just because
just because
because you mean a lot to me
the way you drink, it bothers me
now let's go get some greasy food
I'm not gonna leave you alone

Slippin' On Down

Give a firm handshake
look 'em in the eye
don't mind the earthquake
turn off your mind and go
on your way down the slide
you may see somebody crying
that person won't be you
so just keep on sliding
better keep slipping on down
arms crossed and head down
soon you gonna hit the ground
(keep slipping, better keep a slipping on down)
try not to tense up
try to keep your joints loose
there's nowhere to hide
so smile and enjoy the ride
and when you hit the bottom
heed the words of the master
you shouldn't have taken that long
you should've gone faster

Start Fires

Oh Nero, Nero, the people think you're crazy
just like Caligula, so what you gonna do about it?
a bigger palace won't protect you from yourself
they're gonna getcha
Oh Ms. O'Leary your cow is looking frisky
putting the lantern behind her leg is risky
but milk it mama milk it mama till her udders bleed
cause what's the difference?
you wanna start fires?
well let's start one right now
we'll take turns getting burned before we leave town
you wanna start a war?
well let's start one before it's too late
but oh wait- I'm already bored
there was a man, Julio Gonzalez Caesar
he was so angry at his cheating lover (Et Tu Bootay?)
he's in the club with some gasoline- he's making it rain
there's no escaping
hey can I tell you can you smell the smoke is burning?
oh what's the matter? Are you having second thoughts?
IT'S TOO LATE
so take your gas mask and strap it to your face
and we'll run away forever

Wish In One Hand

He drowned in the wishing well
trying to get rich
they fished the man's body out
as I walked by
I was on the internet
searching for nothing
finding so many things
to keep me distracted
and that's where I was
and that's all I wanna do
I think it's because
I gotta get my mind off the world I knew
and that's who I am
and that's all I'll ever be
a grain in the sand
next to an ever-expanding sea
the next day the paper said
the man had gone crazy
compared to the Earth and the stars
his life had no meaning
his body rots away
his name will wear off his grave
and I'm on the internet
fapping away my brain

Hey hey, walking on air
ain't got a future but I don't care
no I don't give a damn
cause this is who I am tonight
hey hey things are alright
gonna tape myself to a big ol' kite
and catch a big breeze
now I'm walking on trees tonight
we are the victors
we are the victors
we are the victors, the victors of life
hey hey make a big wish
twenty in my pocket and I feel rich
I'm going downtown
I hope you'll be around tonight
you've got a smile that lights up a room
and I've got a lot of things that go boom
it's up to you!
what you wanna do tonight?

You've got a way of loving me
makes me feel brand new
and when I am beside you
I feel warm way down in my bones
I need you day and night
don't care if it's wrong or right
I need you day and night

Magic
04:14

You used to wander
she wandered too
and God with his gentle touch
led her to you
finding a soulmate
the odds are insane
but somehow despite the odds
love found a way
I guess it's magic
you were entranced by her charms
I guess it's magic
she ended up in your arms
now you know
you will never be alone
now armed with her love
you will never be alone
a New Jersey yankee
a girl from North Shore
wound up together forever and more
just like a miracle
just like a dream
I think you two make a wonderful team
