Forgive me,
For I did not know.
'Cause I was just a boy
And you were so much more
Than any god could ever plan,
More than a woman or a man.
And now I understand how much I took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town
something beautiful and new.
You think that Luck
Has left you there.
But maybe there's nothing
up in the sky but air.
And there's no mystical design,
No cosmic lover preassigned.
There's nothing you can find
that can not be found.
'Cause with all the changes
you've been through
It seems the stranger's always you.
Alone again in some new
Wicked little town.
So when you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town.
Oh it's a wicked, little town.
Goodbye, wicked little town.
You've been talking for an hour, and I swear to God that I can't hear a word you say
But will you come to me, come to me
I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me
Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I
Built a wall around your heart
And dared you to come in
I could lie to you
And say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing, well it makes you stronger
All is nothing, in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
And I believe, I'm just plain tired
There's a funny way your lip shapes, when I know that you've been lying
And it touches me, it comforts me
I guess I should be satisfied, did you say you love me half the time
Well let's settle there, we can build from there
Build from there
Would you be happier if I, was only half the man I am
You could shadow me, and dare me to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But it really doesn't matter, when you stop to think about it
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
And I believe, I'm just plain tired, I'm tired
Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I
Built a wall around your heart
And dared you to come in
I can lie to you
Say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing, hurts a funny thing
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
And I believe, I believe I'm just plain tired
Comments
first time in my childhood
When I saw that face
I thought right then,
'That's a real good looking boy'
I saw myself in the mirror
in profile
for the first time
I thought,
'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'
And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre
In the sky
So I ran to my mother
I said,
'Mom - take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen
Fly so high?'
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
She said,
'Son, well, you know,
you're an ugly boy.
You don't really look like him
In this long line
There's been some
real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in'
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I - I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you
Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, 'You're beautiful as you are'
And I've managed somehow to survive
You arrived in my life like a fragrance and
you help me find a way to laugh
Now I Know how so-called beauty lies
God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Man, he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love
You make me feel like I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

end of an era.
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
