Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

The cut rat-mime
Walking through the dirty streets
Of Paris in the hot August hea smile away
Just looking for a place to stay

The actress gave up
All her old dreams
And traded up now She is a queen
Royal families don't
Have time for that shit
Your crystal ball - you keep it hid

The tractor trailer driver radios :
Help me someone
I'm out here all alone
Truck driving
The black night away
Prayin' for the light of day

The kid in the mall works
A hawt dawg on a stick
His hat is a funny shape
His heart is a brick
Taking your order
He will look away
He doesn't have a thing to say

But me I'm doing
Pretty good as of now
I'm not so sure when
I got here or how
Sun melting the fake smile
Away
I think, you know, I'll be
Oka

Today is a lovely day to run
Start up the car with the sun

chorus :
Packing blankets and dirty sheets
A roomful of dust and
A broom to sweep up
All the troubles
You and I have seen

Cross when the drawbridge
Light is green
Don't look back to
that messed-up scene

chorus

And all our troubles will be gone
Blowing out over that bridge
Floating up into the sky
Making the storm clouds cry

Put out that smoke and
Breath some air
Get a new name and cut your hair

chorus

Sun comes up on the old neighborhood
Spray-painted bricks and dead firewood
Well I don't know where
I'm gonna be next
I don't care where I'm gonna be

chorus :
Next time if you think of it
You might remember me as
The one who let you down
But never made another
Sound of fear

Some people like to call me Chuck
It's Charles and you
Are shit outta luck

If you think you know
What happens next
You think you know
What happens

chorus

Sun goes down on
The old neighborhood
Dark, damp the stop
Where I once stood

I don't know where
The bus stops next
And I don't care where
The bus stops

chorus

The sound of fear
I can't hear
The sound of fear

I can't look at the
Rocket launch
The trophy wives of
The astronauts
And I won't listen to
Their words
'Cause I like
Birds

I don't care for
Walkin' downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna
Mow me down
Look at all the people like
Cows in a herd
Well, I like
Birds

If you're small and
On a search
I've got a feeder for
You to perch on

I can't stand in line
at the store
The mean little people
Are such a bore
But it's alright if you
Act like a turd
'Cause I like
Birds

If you're small and
On a search
I've got a feeder for
You to perch on
I've got a feeder for
You to perch on

Take heart, my little friend
And push back your seat
Soon we'll be far away
Far from the street
Where you learned how to be
Not what you are

Up on the shoulder
There is a town
With a little motel
And an old movie house
We'll go to a movie
Whatever it is

Watching the movie
The world's gonna end
And there ain't no place for
A boy and his friend to go

I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies
Might cheer you up

Little field mice
Living under the house
Never eating much
Tough life for a mouse
And if you think you're
Gonna be spared
You're wrong

chorus :
Field mice, head lice
Spiders in the kitchen
Don't think twice 'bout
Whatever keeps you itchin'
Ice water, flyswatter
Gonna get you through the day

Heat is rolling in like
Hell's red rug
Stinking like the
Breath of beelzebub
And if you think you won't
Walk on coals
You will

chorus

It's a motherfucker
Being here without you
Thinking 'bout the good times
Thinking 'bout the bad
And I won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
Getting through a sunday
Talking to the walls
Just me again
But I won't ever be the same
I won't ever be the same

It's a motherfucker
How much I understand
The feeling that you need someone
To take you by the hand
And you won't ever be the same
You won't ever be the same

These are the sounds
Of days that are past...

I bought some rock star ashes
From the back of rolling stone
I guess he wouldn't mind it
They couldn't sell his soul

chorus :
The tiger in my tank
Is going to extinct
And I'm feeling so good myself
I think I'm on the brink of disaster

I had a dream last night
The TV and the phone
Grew some legs and took a walk
And left me all alone

chorus

I had a dream last night
The TV and the phone
Grew some legs and took a walk
And left me all alone

chorus

Wake up the dying
Don't wake up the dead
Change what you're saying
Don't change what you said
Now that it's time that
I go out of bed

When I walk myself
Down Sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And I stumble on
A daisy through concrete

Pink and brown babies
In pink stroller cars
Know that it's good
They don't care where they are
They know that home
Doesn't feel very far

When I walk myself
Down Sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And I stumble on
A daisy through concrete

Airplane is flying up in the sky
Making a pattern
With the white lines
Looks like a heart
Or maybe a pie

How does her world spin
Without me in her nest ?
Could there really
Be such happiness ?

Oh, she's got a dark side too
Even murderous
But I love that
Just like her

I don't have a chance
At writing the book
I just wanna be a page

In Jeannie's diary
One single page
In Jeannie's diary

Yes I am intense
Maybe quite obsessed
Everything she does is curious

Oh, she's going to let me in
I just know it's so
Then again, who do I kid ?

I don't have a prayer
For writing the book
I just wanna be a page

In Jeannie's diary
One single page
In Jeannie's diary

She could have anything
She wants
So why not me ?
She could have anything
She dreams
Oh, to be one single page
One single page
In Jeannie's diary

Went down by the old courthouse
Stumbling through the streets
Had to get out of the house
Had to use my feet
And you may not think much of me now
But I think so damn much of you

Don't take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
A devil of a time awaits you
When the party's over
You're on your own

Trash truck coming up the road
Picking up the trash
Riding to a better place
Hoping we don't crash
Thinking how things
Have turned out
I never would've guessed it this way

Don't take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
A devil of a time awaits you
When the party's over
You're on your own

Now the party's over
I'm on my own

Taking a walk down to the mall
Smelling piss and beer and gas
That could be me in a couple years
Suckin' fumes under the highway pass

On a rainy day
While I wear newspapers
For pants and a t-shirt that says
Damn I'm good

People look funny when they cry
'Cause they just can't let it hide
Typing into your little box
Press the cry button
It unlocks

On a rainy day
No one has a thing to say
Easier to look the other way

Take a look in the killer's eyes
And you see there's nothing there
But something is sacred
In your eyes
And something to believe

On a rainy day
And as the world will blow to bits
I'll cradle you and hold you tight

If I lay my head down
I will see you in my dream
Wearing that polka dot dress
And sitting by the stream
Leaning in to hear you
You will whisper in my ear
And everything
I need to know
I finally hear

I wish I could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me

When I was a baby we would
Go out to the park
And sit out in the fountain
Splashing 'round until it's dark
The days go on forever
When you only know that much
And everything you need to know
Is answered with one touch

I wish I could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me

The smokestack is spitting black soot into the sunny sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye
The Elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The Ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage

God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah

The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawled out the window 'cause her daddy just don't care (Come on!)

God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah

The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger I tell you he is quite a scare

God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah

The kids fit their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
Their neighbour digs the flavour still he's moving to another town

(And I don't believe he'll come back)
God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah
God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah

And I don't know how you're taking all the shit you see
You don't believe anyone but most of all openly agree

God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah
