Kerplunk! Lyrics

2,000 Light Years Away

I sit alone in my bedroom
staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning

I hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her
'Cause she's 2,000 light years away

She holds my mala kite so tight so...never let go
'Cause she's 2,000 light years away
yes, away

I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her
But in the distance
I hear some laughter
We laugh together

I hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her
'Cause she's 2,000 light years away

She holds my mala kite so tight so...never let go
'Cause she's 2,000 light years away
yes, away

I sit alone in my bedroom
staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning

I hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her
'Cause she's 2,000 light years away

She holds my mala kite so tight so...never let go
'Cause she's 2,000 light years away
yes, away.

One For The Razorbacks

Juliet's trying to find out what she wants but she don't know
Expirience has got her down
Look this direction
Ya know it's not perfection
It's just me...
I want to bring you up again now

I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price that I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the dissappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in

Juliet's crying 'cause now she's realizing love can be filled with pain and distrust
I know I am crazy and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up again somehow

'Cause I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price that I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the dissappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in

Juliet's crying 'cause now she's realizing love can be filled with pain and distrust
I know I am crazy and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up again somehow

'Cause I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price that I'll pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the dissappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in.

Welcome To Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'
It's been three whole weeks
Since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin'
Cause now it seems I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wander why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wander why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise.

Christie Road

Staring out of my window
Watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone
I've got nothing to do
So I sit here patiently
Watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away
Or my brains will explode

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks of Christie Road

See the hills from afar
Standing on my beat up car
The sun went down
And the night fills the sky
Now I feel like me once again
As the train comes rolling
In smoked my bedroom gone
Slapped my brains up so high

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road
Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

If there's 1 thing that I need
That makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road
It's home
It's home
It's home
It's home
It's home.

Private Ale

I wonder down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now I just don't know
I don't seem to care
I stop to notice that I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there

Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sight
And through my vains temptation flows

So I sit down here on the hard concrete
Think of my future now I just don't know
I don't seem to care
I stop to notice that I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there

Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sight
And through my vains temptation flows.

Dominated Love Slave

I want to be your dominated love slave
I want to be the one who takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Mack me in the forehead with a chain

'Cause I love feelin dirty
And I love feelin cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive those staples deep

I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a beltsander against my skin
I want to feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins

And I love feelin dirty
And I love feelin cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive those staples deep.

One Of My Lies

When I was younger I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was so wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality

Do you think you're indestructable and no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposable and it's time you knew the truth
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well it's just one of my lies

Why does my life have to be so small? Yet death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer cause you only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once
Well I hardly think so

Do you think you're indestructable and no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposable and it's time you knew the truth
'Cause it's just one of my lies
Well it's just one of my lies
And all I wanna do is get real high
Well it's just one of my lies

I used to pray all night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was rig
ht Her mother said it too...
Why?

80

My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just wanna hurt myself

If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall

Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
No one wants to hear a drunken fool

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself

If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall

I do not mind if this goes on
'Cuase now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit that I enjoy myself
80 please keep taking me away
Away

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself

If anyone can hear me slap some sense in me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head or I bang it up against the wall.

Android

Hey old man in woman's shoes
I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy
When he was young did he have dreams of wearing women's shoes ond being crazy?

It makes me wonder when
I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change
Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up six feet underground
And waste away

When the old man was in school
Did the golden rules make him go crazy
Or did he hide away from hopes behind a smile and smoking dope
It's crazy

It makes me wonder when
I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change
Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up six feet underground
And waste away

And it seems so frustrating
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on
My chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around
Waste away

It seems so frustrating
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on
My chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around
Waste away.

No One Knows

Why should my fun have to end?
For me it's only the beginning
I see my friends begin to age
A short countdown to their end

Call me irrisponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes
Better think again 'cause no one knows

I don't want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something I should find
To make plans for forever

Call me irrisponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes
You Better think again 'cause no one knows

------------------------------------------------------
Call me irrisponsible                                                 |
Call me habitual                                                       |
But when you think of me                                         |
Do you fill your head with schemes                           |
You better think again 'cause no one knows             |
----------------------------------------------------|--------(at the same time)
Does it seem like all your memories fade                 |
You soak up knowledge to fill the space                 |
And still my answer remains                                   |
I don't know.                                                         |

Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

A thought burst in my head
And I need to tell you
It's news that I for thought
Was it just a dream
That happened long ago?
I think I just forgot
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting

I shuffle through my mind
To see if I can find
The words I left behind
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
Oh well, Nevermind

Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up or he is gonna end up quitting.

Words I Might Have Ate

Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktops of the school grounds
The love I bitched about I finally found

But now it's gone and I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?

Now I dwell on what you remind me of
The sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me I am blind without a cause
And now I realize what I have lost

It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool who's stable soul's gone bad
Why?

Tell me the words I might have said
It's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate
The words I might have ate
The words I might have ate

But now it's gone and I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Oh, Why?
Why?
Why?
