Destroy All Monsters

What's The Worst That Could Happen?

It's just like me to be so dumb
to play with matches and daddy's gun
It's not my fault I'm just having fun
I've had a problem with listening
I'd like to take you for a drive
make out like Bonnie and Clyde
and show you mister toad's wild ride
What's the worst that could happen
I don't want to get by, just anybody
I don't want to decide, between love and hate
I need a little room to breathe
I don't want to belong, just to get along
I don't want to stay home and miss the parade
Save it for a rainy day
what's the worst that could happen
I'm all I've got you're all upset
Don't dress me in a straight jacket
I'm gonna die with no regrets
I'm no wasp in a bottle
I'll change my mind I'll act the fool
And lose my heart on some bar stool
Why should I be predictable
what's the worst that could happen
It's just like me to tempt my fate
to push the curve, dem' bones will break
I'm not afraid to crash and burn

Kansas

Let's go little crazy baby
The conversation's petrified
Roll away the rock of ages
Soften up the rolling eyes
Dig out that magic dress
those pink flamingo lipstick lips
It's you and me baby all over again
Let's show the world the things we never lost
and break away the shell
that hides the pearl inside us all
Even though we're not in Kansas any more
Two on the run at twenty- one
Copped a dream from a billboard sign
Got out of dodge like bullets from a gun
Driving with the wheels on fire
So here we are swimming with the sharks
and playing off the Taj Mahal
You know baby I couldn't love you more
Let's show the world the things we never lost
And break away the shell
that hides the pearl inside us all
Even though we're not in Kansas any more
Riding on the carousel once upon a time
you don't forget however old you get,
close to the light
but something's never die

I Woke Up Too Late

I could have wasted my big chance
spent my dime and never heard the thunder
Pissed away my innocence
half a brain ago I walked on water
I'm own worst enemy
the last of all my friend to know it
Dreams were metting in my hands
now there's nothing left to show for it
Chasing after myself
I'm all out of breath
Waiting for something to happen
and I lost my place
ten thousand ways to be one
with the circle of fate
and summer's gone and I woke up too late
Anytime I get too far
the lights go out and I jump out of the window
Motivation overload
Am I some kind of joke to choke the motor
I could have wasted my big chance
spent my dime and never heard the thunder
Pissed away my innocence
half a brain ago I walked on water
Will I be young forever
Or the last man left behind

Janie Won't Open

A mystery girl anything but typical
Naver been a member of the beautiful
Plays the clown but she can keep it really real
and it makes her feel sad
Talk to me, fall on me
Saving her grace in secret place
Coming in and out of focus
is who you are Janie won't open
Wasted love longing for her
busted heart Janie won't open
Janie won't open
What a mess another social accident
She'll confess the burden tastes like medicine
but I know
she can take it way too far
and it's so bizzare
Dissident, diffrent
Saving her grace in a secret place
Coming in and out of focus
is who you are Janie won't open
Broken doll slowly choking
in the crowd Janie won't open
Wasted love falling to her
busted heart Janie won't open
free if she could only own it
cry out loud Janie won't open
Janie won't open

Where Are You?

I don't know where you are anymore
there's a theory that
I have you left me for imperfections
and the inability to be on my own
The vultures have picked my body clean
it's a miracle to me
that I still have the skin to believe you
but you always get a second chance
to play God
Where are you? When I fall out of the sky
where are you? And why am I denied
where are you? with dove in hand
am I damned if I come undone?
So I'm not your angel anymore
is it easier to lessen the weight of the world
on your shoulders
Than to understand the undertow
that holds me down
Where you looking when I clawed my way out
was it my imagination
or were you behind the curtain
the one that's pulling all the strings
Where are you? When I fall out of the sky
where are you? And why am I denied
where are you? with dove in hand
am I damned if I come undone?
My hypocrisy gets the best of me
and my head is full of you

You're Too Good For Him

You patronize yourself in front of all your frinds
you wonder why your dreams have all been spent
and up is where you're not and haven't been for
quite sometime
You're barely hanging on
finding out he's gone again
his lies are blowing smoke inside your head
andwe all know in our hearts,
but you don't know yet
You're too good for him, You're too good for him
You build a house of sand up against the tide
and can't believe the luck
that's never on your side
he sells you what you fear and you buy his alibis
You're too good for him, You're too good for him
Where'd you get the dumb idea that love has to
hurt to get what you want
cause you don't have to dance
You're too good for him
You throw away you're pride
at the usual time and place
you wear your porcelain smile
that's heavy on your face
he feeds you crumbs of hope to light your eyes
then waves another one of his goodbyes
You're too good for him

Living In Black And White

Bus station angels with broken doll halos
holding up doorways from Dallas to Boston
All alone and far from home
relying on soup kitchen prayers
Lunatics and losers on parade
Dinner in a bottle when the light starts to fade
The tongue runs deep when the whiskey speaks
that's when the jeckles start to hide
Back in your old school
no one's missing you
they've all given you up for dead
Goodbye to sweet sixteen
but things ain't what they seem
Could be the gutter is better
than what you've left
She cries at night, living in black and white
And time's out of time, living in black and white
Back alley sally's bending for dollars
what's on the menu behind Alice's restaurant
Friday night when the bullets fly
Checking in to a cardboard motel
Back in your old school
no one's missing you
they've all given you up for dead
Goodbye to sweet sixteen
but things ain't what they seem
Could be the gutter
is better than what you've left
She cries at night living in black and white
And time's out of time living in black and white

Something There

Is it me? Is she staring?
There's gotta be some other attraction?
She looks away Am I daring
enough to suck it up and go over and say hello?
Adrenamine is creepin' in
I'm on the spot the lights are getting louder
I don't kno
If there's something there
that's not all in my head
and it's in the air
There's something there that can't touch on yet
I might be kicking myself
but there's something there
there's something there that's not all in my head
Is she for real, or maybe twisted
what should I do if she bites my head off
I can't decide, pulling daises
she loves me, loves me not,
like I'm driving me crazy
Adrenaline is creepin' in and
my blood is up it must be getting obvious
I don't know
if there's something there
that's not all in my head
and it's in the air
There's something there hat I can't touch on yet
I might be kicking myself
but something's there
there's something there that's not all in my head
I'm just a sucker for a pretty face
I'm stupid, I can't help it
It's harder that leap of faith
that got me in trouble
the last time this happened

What If

What if, what if somebody body
put some ovaltine in your lemonade
What if, what if the space invaders
took your microwave
Your hour's over and you still don't understand
Your head is empty and it's buried in the sand
What if, what if the sky falling
and it's headed for your face
What if, what if no one was there to save,
save the day
So send your money
and your conscience will be clear
but don't believe in everything
that you might hear
It's not my job to keep you happy and amused
I am not your mother,
won't be driving you to school
And I'm not a preacher or dashboard figurine
just another poster boy, in a trashy magazine
What if, what if I'm not the God
that you ought to be looking for
What if, what if here in the mirror
I'm as stupid as you are
Your hour's over and you still don't understand
Your head is empty and it's buried in the sand
It's not my job to keep you happy and amused
I am only human and I wish that you were too
I'm no super hero I just play on TV
the miracle you're looking for
is only in your dreams
What if life wasn't so F***** hard?

I Can Die Now

I was sewing seeds in Gomorrah's garden
Pulling weeds if you pardon my French
Waking naked in some strange
And loveless beds
I was swimming laps inside a fish bowl
you broke the glass and freed my filleted soul
You gave me heart to heart
and I came out smelling like a rose
I can die now
life is gold
happiness at last,
finally pouring through the cracks
I'm alive now
for the first time
I can die cause there
Can't be more to love than you
Stamming doors and clothes on the sidewalk
tug of wars where you grab your hat and say hey,
thanks a lot
I was down for the count
now it's elevator going up
to the moon, I tear up my wish list
because of you, my ship is coming in
gotta jones for Juliet,
it don't get any better than this
I can die now
life is gold
happiness at last,
finally pouring through the cracks
I'm alive now
for the first time
I can die cause there
can't be more love than you
I can die now
I'm walking on the nine cloud
happiness at last,
finally pouring through the cracks
I'm alive now
You've broken the curse of a falling man
I can die cause there
can't be more love than you

Burnin' In My Mind

I've been walking through my life
like there's nothing to lose
running when the light turns red
lately I realize there's a hole in my shoe
does it match with the hole in my head
The sun goes down
ain't it funny how your face
keeps coming back around
Where are you now
now that I have opened my eyes
Stop, stop the world I wanna get off
it's too late burning in my mind
Stop, stop killing me with what I haven't got
it's too late burning in my mind
What was thinking at the end of my rope
let my attitude get ahead of my heart
Some people get it and some of us don't
as I love alone in the dark
What's kept inside
all comes out in the wash after awhile
Where are you now
now that I have had my big surprise
Stop, stop the world I wanna get off
it's too late burnin'in my mind
Stop, stop killing me with what I haven't got
it's too late I'm losing my space in time
There's was truth in it all your Sunday sermons
You were right about the one who's hurting now
It's burning in my mind
Tired of being free
it gets harder every day
cause in my mind you'll always be
the one that got away

If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show, the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
you're all that's left me too.
Find when my love for life is running dry,
you come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
Find when the world was though,
then one by one the stars would all go out,
then you and i would simply fly away
