Hello cruel world
Hello cruel world
So this is you
A broken heart
But with a view
I'm looking out to face another day
The angry mob
The happy mass
This birthday cake may be the last
I'm looking out to find another way
Norman rockwell colors fade
All my favorite things have changed
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
I thought i heard an opera star
Who had no home under the stars
She sang and sang and sang the night away
And mother nature changed her name
She doesn't want to play the game
I don't believe she'll ever be the same
So big brother never came
Howdy doody gets the blame
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Bad and beautiful and strange
Monkeys dancing in a cage
But what the hell
Hello cruel world
Venus demilo grew an arm
And old macdonald bought the farm
Say goodbye
Hello cruel world |
Fitting In With The Misfit
Dear ma
You might find it hard to believe
But i think i finally found a home
The weather's lovely
There's so much to see
And people who know what i know
Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm alright with them
Fitting in with the misfits
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls
Don't know where
They're bound
Dear ma
I know this is hard for you too
But some things are better off said
I've always found it so hard to adjust
I'd rather stay in bed
Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm alright with them
Fitting in with the misfits
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls
Don't know where
They're bound |
Are You & Me Gonna Happen
Are you and me going to happen,
Are you and me going to happen soon?
The Gods smiled hard down upon,
A love that's shared,
Heaven's awaiting those who dare,
Are you and me going to happen,
Are you and me going to happen soon?
A sweeter feeling I can't guess,
Will ever be,
A truer union I can't see,
I don't know how much more I can take,
I will run through the streets,
I will howl at the moon if,
You and me cannot be happening soon,
Are you and me going to happen soon?
Are you and me going to happen soon? |

Looking Out The Window With A Blue Hat On
Oh she comes on like a fog
And then she goes out
Like a neurotic dog
So now i'm sitting here
Thinking all day long
Looking out the window
With a blue hat on
Find me an open grave
Just push me in
Then let me up to live again
So she bought a little book
And filled it up with names
She never shook
So i'm just one of them
Thinking all day long
Looking out the window
With a blue hat on
Find me a sky high cliff
Just let me try
To jump right off
Maybe i'll fly |
Mockingbird Franklin
She'd never known acceptance
She'd never known the word
She says "i like to call myself m
But my real name is mockingbird"
Mockingbird franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird franklin
I'm alot like you
She says her mother is gone now
She says it never got cured
I said, "i'm sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird?"
Mockingbird franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird franklin
I'm alot like you
Mockingbird
Don't you change
Just because you're not like them
Oh mockingbird
You're not the same
Alone along the sidewalk
Her steps are barely heard
It's kinda funny that it's her name
'cause she's nothing like a mockingbird
Mockingbird franklin
Don't it get to you
Mockingbird franklin
I'm alot like you |
I've Been Kicked Around
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
I once had a heart
I was ripped from it
Chewed up then spat out
Like a cherry pit
And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
Well i've been kicked around
Whatd'ya see
Am i alright
I'm alright
I once had a soul
It was torn from me
I won't cry a tear
I will carry me
And if i seem a little hard
It's just that i've been kicked around
I don't know how i got this far
The way that i've been kicked around
Don't worry
I'm alright |

Pray
Never much of a hopeful man
Nothing good to say
But i couldn't help it
When i saw her
I had to know her
She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray
And soon i know her a little more
She's everything i dreamed
But still i wonder
What it would be like
If she let me
She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray
There must be something
That's following her
That keeps her from the stay
There must be something
That makes me want to pray
She says she's alright
But she's not sure
And i'm not sure what that means
She says she's alright
But she needs some help
I don't know how |
E's Tune
Have two eyes
But i cannot see
I have a heart
But i cannot feel anything
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
I got a mouth
But it doesn't say
The things i want it to say today
Anyway
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress
Still there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Sometimes it feels like i'm all alone
Most of the time actually
I am alone
That's alright
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'cause my soul is always
Climbing a ladder
Oh i know
Don't give up now
I'm almost there
Alright |
You'll Be The Scarecrow
One day i'll have to fly
To the next great unknown
One day i'll be out of here
Back on my own
And when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll carry with me
Forevermore
You were the special one
Something we shared
The one that i'll miss the most
The one who cared
So when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow
You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll carry with me
Forevermore
There may not be a day
For a due reunion
There may not be a day
For us
One day you'll look and see
A purple sunset
And then you'll know that i'm okay
I'm doing my best
And when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow |
