I said goodnight for the last time While you were dreaming I woke up this morning And I cut myself breathing Today I find out how much you mean to me But I still won't miss you I still don't know how to be back home Independence Day means I'm all alone I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night But I still won't miss you I don't think you love me I don't think you ever did You just wanted me around To make you feel like someone really cared

Bonita (free) 01:58
When you looked down at me I knew you were not mine And I was sorry that I fell into my own lies I know you'll never feel the same way about me I wish that I could walk away that easy A proper fool I played for you But now it's I who Has to move on, get lost or stay and watch you - oh no They say that things like this just take a little time I say it took away the best thing in my life Bonita's Crying Because you lied And now for sure I know the rules because of you I won't be coming for my stuff anytime soon I forget that when it's cold it's never cool If there's a place in hell for me it's next to you I don't know why you'd start to cry When it's I Whose chest is caving in Who's left behind Don't you think that if it hurts it could be wrong Another day, another boy, another song Bonita's crying Because you lied

The Journal 02:58
I got this invitation in the mail today You must have really gone Out of your way yeah Did you even think that I would go After so many years of putting up with your show I thought I drew a line in the sand one day Thank you very much for a sweet birthday You wrote about it in your diary How soft and firm her skin was I lost it all to you on page 13 You fell in love with me on 17 I turned to 21 and hit the floor On page 23 I realized you're a whore All I could tell you on the telephone Was "Say it ain't so Serpico" Is there anything else I said Or maybe something I haven't read I knew I drew a line in the sand one day Get your little girl out of my way You wrote down all the ways I couldn't compare With her big blue eyes and her long blonde hair

401(K) 01:32
Well I know I'm not a blundering Idiot as you can see I've done what you've expected of me I'm platitude and gratitude Without a fucking attitude I'm anything you want me to be I'm dead already Throw away my 401 K I know I've got everything but I'll trade it for anything I'm ready to be homeless and free I think I'll leave my neighborhood And be a hippy in the woods I'm gonna live under a tree I'm trading in retirement For a 40 and a cigarette There'll be no insurance for me I'm dead already Throw away my 401 K I know I've got everything but I'll trade it for anything I'm ready to be homeless and free I don't need no 401 K I lost my fucking job today I don't need it I don't need it... It's time to pack up... I'm dead already Throw away my 401 K I know I've got everything but I'll trade it for anything I'm ready to be homeless and free I know it's hard sometimes To stay between the lines Just when you think you're doing fine Monday's just a day away OKAY Monday's just a day away

Bad Weather (free) 02:55
I remember times we had Some were good but some of them could have been better Now I'm left here all alone with just your skull and your bones and this letter Across the ocean you are free But it's too late for you and too much for me too handle There used to be a little sunshine here But now it just rains and rains And it's cold And it's dark But it's nothing compared to my heart You can travel around the world You can find another girl Who can hold your hand And not understand When there's nothing to be said She can find another bed Where you're not sleeping You can let her down easy With the sleazy look that only you can deliver There used to be a little sunshine here But now it just rains and rains And it's dark And it's cold But my heart is set on go One year to the day I was ready to play again But the game remains the same God you make it so easy Get out, Go home Before I get you alone I don't want to say no But I'll never forget the way you let me go There used to be a little sunshine here But now it just rains and rains And it's cold And it's dark But it's nothing compared to my heart

Lying here by myself With a picture of your ex-girlfriend Do you find it disconcerting That she left for someone else just like you Do you want to find out What she's up to now Is she happy ever after Or if she's miserable Would that make it forgivable Get my best side Take your best shot as I Cock my head and smile and wave goodbye Take my advice Instamatic suicide You lost it when she smiled and waved goodbye And I'll tell you something else You may have told yourself You'll always have an ex-girlfriend but Maybe not any new friends baby Do you have what it takes To give your heart a heart break Let it go it's own way You'll find it home before you know it Get my best side Take your best shot as I Cock my head and smile and wave goodbye Take my advice Instamatic suicide You lost it when she smiled and waved goodbye Don't pick up the phone It's time to go it alone Don't try to keep it together baby Nothing lasts forever baby Get my best side...

What's going on in your head? Yr so mean. Yr so mean. You better be, better be ready if you play with me. Back yourself up little miss scene queen, miss scene queen I've got a one up on yr little hate machine. You better watch yr back babe. What big ears you have. What a twisted mouth. Look how ugly you are playing telephone with yourself. What big eyes you have. They're bigger than your heart. You'll never never have it if you never never had it from the start. Quida No te quemes las antenas Mariposa Quida No te quemes las antenas Venenosa What's going on in your head? Yr so mean. Yr so mean. You better be, better be ready if you play with me. Back yourself up little miss scene queen, miss scene queen I've got a one up on yr little hate machine. You better watch yr back babe. What big teeth you have. I can hear them ch-ch-ch-chattering Wind her up, wind her up, wind her up It doesn't matter Do you wanna dance my darling? Do you wanna sing? I can tell you there's something missing, miss scene queen Quida No te quemes las antenas Mariposa Quida No te quemes las antenas Venenosa
