I can do this, really, I'm good enough
I'm as good as them, but don't take it from me
Ask my friends, ask my sister
They all think my stuff is great
Up there with any of them
I just need a break

I'm a genius, really, I'm excellent
Better than them, I kick their asse

Adelaide
On a plane
Far from the united states
Of LA
Dropping in from outer space
Takes a day
Now I see the Bogans
At the motor race
Here you know the world could turn
Or crash and burn
And you would never know it
Going where the air is clear
There

Saw a silhouette across a fluorescent
Floating overhead, undoing his helmet
Through the murky beams and blue-green sea life
I saw him spinnin' towards the moonlight

I pull him in, he wasn't breathin'
His eyes were wide and I saw two of me there
There's an ugly buzz that

Some summers in the evening
after six or so
I walk on down the hill
and maybe buy a beer
I think about my friends
sometimes I wish
they lived out here
but they wouldn't
dig this town
no they wouldn't
dig this town

CHORUS
Try not to think about

Son, look at all the people
In this restaurant
What do you think they weigh?
And out the window
To the parking lot
At their SUVs taking all of this space

They give no fuck
They talk as loud as they want
They give no fuck
Just as long as there's enough

And so
Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits
For a call
From a friend
The same
It's the same
Why's it always the same?
Annie waits for the last time

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits
She's growing old
It's getting late
And so he forgot,

And so Annie waits, Annie waits, Annie waits For a call From a friend The same It's the same Was it always the same? Annie waits for the last time The clock never stops, never stops, never w

Well I thought about the army
Dad said, Son you're fuckin' high
And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything
So I took my old man's advice
Three sad semesters
It was only 15 grand spent in bed
I thought about the army
I dropped out and joined a band instead

Pull over the car
Pull over the car
I think I see a fly fisher
Pull over the car
Pull over the car
My dad wants to break up with your sister

I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
You make me feel
Make me feel
Make me

I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change.
But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange.
Though you're not my enemy,
I'd like things like they used to be.
And though you'd like some company,
I'm standing by myself.
Go play with someone else.

The old bastard left his ties and his suit
A brown box, mothballs and bowling shoes
and his opinion so you'd never have to choose
Pretty soon, you'll be an old bastard too
You get smaller while the world gets big
The more you know you know you don't know shit
The whiz man

Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
But it sucks me in when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks, it works
I guess it's cool to be alone

Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less

Every night around this time
He has to sing 'Belinda'
"Belinda, I love you
Don't leave me, I need you"

He tried to stop a while back
But what is he without her?
A one hit wonder with no hits, is what he is

And, anyway
He always hears how much it means to peopl

I feel like a quote out of context
Withholding the rest
So I can be for you what you want to see
I got the gesture and sound
Got the timing down
It's uncanny, yeah, you think it was me
Do you think I should take a class
To lose my southern accent
Did I make me up,

The bitch went nuts.
She stabbed my basketball.
And the speakers to my stereo.
She called me 'cunt'
But nothing prepared me for
what I found when I came home.
Oh and I made my own bed. I lie in it.
You lie in yours. You lie, you lie, in yours.
But they want more,

How great I am
Gotta tell myself, yeah
I'm the man
Looks grim right now
but pretty soon we'll be laughing about it
Ooh, and it's alright
Yeah it is, I swear you'll see
(it's not really)
Yeah it's alright
Cuz I've always got my family of me

It's not a fir

You don't stop Follow me into the great unknown Where pink flamingos grow Diet soda flows and what you take Magically regenerates All supermarket shelves The ovens clean themselves You don'

We'd hit the bottom, I thought it was my fault And in a way I guess it was I'm just now finding out What it was all about Moved to the west coast away from everyone She never told me that yo
