Song Lyrics

I'd rather burn out than fade away, living day to day I was born an outcast, but who are they to say What I do is wrong and I keep moving on? You might choke on these words, but you sing along So if your heart stops or your hands tied Be the rainfall, cause a landslide And if they condescend, then something's wrong with them I've been off, now I'm on again I just wanna live while the feeling's there A hundred on the highway, put the top down, feel the air, kill the snare Life's a movie, we're the directors We're the star, don't bother us, no time for the lectures Many memories, I wouldn't trade for the planet Life is short, I never take it for granted God, take me now, in the place that I'm standing I got no regret, and that's the way that I planned it

Watching, waiting My prey is praying There's no escaping My blood's pumping I go on hunting The hunter, the hunted

I've got an aching head Echoes and buzzing noises I know the words we said But wish I could've turned our voices down This is not black and white Only organize confusion I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible You didn't get your way And it's an empty feeling You've got a lot to say And you just want to know you're being heard But this is not black and white There are no clear solutions I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible This is not black and white There are no clear solutions I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible

Yahee, icky thump Who'd a thunk? Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico Ah well What a chump Man my head got a bump When I hit it on the radio Redhead señorita Lookin' dead Came and said Need a bed in Español Said, gimme a drink of water I'm gonna sing around the collar And I don't need a microphone *guitar rift* Icky thump With the lump in my throat Grab my coat And I was freaking I was ready to go Yeah, I swear besides the hair She had one white eye One blank stare Lookin' up, lyin' there On the stand near her hand Was a candy cane Black rum, sugar cane Dry ice, something strange La la la la la la la la la la *more guitar rift* White Americans What, nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too Who's usin' who? What should we do? Well, you can't be a pimp And a prostitute too *even more guitar rift* Icky thump Handcuffed to a bunk Robbed blind Looked around And there was nobody else Left alone I hit myself with a stone Went home And learned how to clean up after myself *last guitar rift*

Don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna be friends Flume - friends Really good song.

Alright then, picture this if you will: 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51. Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... Holy fucking shit! Then the X-Files being, looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa, Did a slow-mo Matrix descent out of the butt end of the banana vessel and hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was: "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants." So light in his way, Like an apparition, He had me crying out, "Fuck me. It's gotta be Deadhead Chemistry. The blotter got right on top of me. Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!" And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not." Me. The Chosen One? They chose me! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school. You'd better... You'd better... You'd better... You'd better listen Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes. Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down. This is so real. Like the time Dave floated away. See my heart is pounding, 'Cause this shit never happens to me. Can't breathe, right now! It was so real. Like I woke up in Wonderland. All sort of terrifying. I don't wanna be all alone when I tell this story. And can anyone tell me why You all sound like Peanuts parents Will I ever be coming down? This is so real. Finally it's my lucky day. See my heart is racing, 'Cause this shit never happens to me. Can't breathe, right now! You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I just said, see the Dead ain't touring. And this wasn't all in my head. See they took me by the hand and invited me right in, Then they showed me something. I don't even know where to begin. Strapped down my bed. Feet cold and eyes red. I'm out my head. Am I alive, am I dead? Can't remember what they said. God damn. Shit the bed! High... I I I I I... high...

When I was 6 years old, I broke my leg When I was running from my brother and his friend. Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass as I rolled down. I was younger then, Take me back to when I Found my heart and broke it there Made friends and lost them through the years And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long O how we've grown I can't wait To go home And I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those Country lains. Singing to tiny dancer And I miss the way you made Me feel. Its real And we watched the sunset Over the castle on the hill. 15 years old, smoking hand rolled cigarette Running from the law through the back fields and Getting drunk with my friends. Had My first kiss on a Friday night I dont reckon I did it right I was younger then Take me back to when we Got weekend jobs When we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long Oh how we've grown I can't wait to go home And I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those Country Lains, singing to tiny dancer And I miss the way you made Me fell, its real And we watched the sunset Over the castle on the hill. One friend left to sell clothes. One works down by the coast. One has two kids but lives alone. Ones brother overdosed. Ones already on his second wife And ones just barely getting by But these people raised me and I Can't wait to go home And I'm on my way I still remember these old Country lains When we did not know the answer And I miss the way you made Me feel, its real And we watched the sunset Over the castle on the hill. Over the castle on the hill. Over the castle on the hill.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow Every step that I take is another mistake to you Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
