Kickin' round the garden side cuz he knows When it's time to get out Lookin' 'round all he can see is so close But what's it about? His name is Charles and no matter what you say You can't take his sunshine today Oh! Mr. Montgomery Well isn't he lovely? It's a long way home Oh! Mr. Montgomery Well isn't he lovely?

If you didn't want it you wouldn't beg If you weren't sleeping you would never wake To see your reflection gliding on the wind She screams the answers but no one understands She's a crazy girl in a mixed up world If we weren't listening we simply wouldn't know Without some love these trees will never grow To touch the sky that's no polluted with our fears She screams the answers but no one ever hears She's a crazy girl in a mixed up world And you know she always tries You can see it in her eyes She's reaching out to you So what are we gonna do? Oh no... oh no... Crazy girl...

I hate the way that 'no fragrance' smells. I hate the way I can't see in the dark. I hate how everytime I run away, I can't seem to escape. And it always brings me right back to where it starts. I hate the way the weeds kill off the plants. I hate the feeling I never did my part. I hate when I say how I feel, and everyone looks away... I run and run 'til I'm right back at where it starts. Now if I could kill everyone in the world, I'd save some fam' & friends and a whole lot of fuckin' squirrels. So we could re-populate the Earth, and everyone would be nuts. And the squirrels? Well they would carry us away. I hate the way you reacted to my last verse. I hate when I have to see a hearse roll through the park. I hate everytime somebody dies, and you didn't get to say goodbye... You feel worse and worse 'til you're right back at where it starts. I hate the bastards that think skin color means a thing. It's even worse when I didn't know that was the way you are. And as much as I'd love to stomp your face, and make you scream sorry to all... I gotta keep my mouth closed 'til another one decides to start. I gotta keep my mouth closed 'til another one... Decides... To start.

One early summer evening below the yellow clouds, They built another pointless mall. In a marching sea of orange, a working man stands tall. Another case of twinkie-sweet-withdrawl. And if I ever 'snap'... Put me into a room where no one else can go. With padding up and down the walls. Give me daily recreation, once a week phone calls. But never take me near that mall. For those of you keepin' track... Shit's gonna bang today. (Gonna bang today) In one another way. (One another way) Shit's gonna bang today. (Gonna bang today) No matter what you say... ...Shit's gonna bang today. One early summer evening below the yellow clouds, They built another pointless mall.

And you can give away the only thing you own. Hide away the only hope that shows. Paint the picture in the sky you see. And wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make-believe. Tell me if it hurts, I'll stop it and I'll learn, That going out for blood won't always find the answer. Teach a bird to sing, 'till it mends a broken wing, But everybody knows it won't cure her cancer. And you can give away the only thing you own. Hide away the only hope that shows. Paint the picture in the sky you see. And wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make-believe. Make a stake in time, in the corner of your mind, Even if you think nobody's listenin'. Leave it up to chance, then lose it in a trance. Even what you thought, you think you're wasting. And you can give away the only thing you own. Hide away the only hope that shows. Paint the picture in the sky you see. And wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make-believe. Wish the dreams you dreamed aren't make believe, Aren't make-believe, aren't make-belive, Aren't make-believe, aren't make-belive, Aren't make-believe, aren't make-belive.

I take the lights away. I turn the colors into grey. And even if it seems, the sky was never meant to bleed, It will be raining soon. 'Cuz I... Don't wanna dream. Don't wanna hear those people scream. & I... Never wanna hope. That a day ends up in smoke. I put ya high into the sky. I turn ya' fights into 'quite alrights'. And even if it seems, the moon's too far away, Box nine will change your mind. 'Cuz I... Don't wanna dream. Don't wanna hear those people scream. & I... Never wanna hope. That a day ends up in smoke. This is a waltz ladies and gentlemen! We'd like to see everybody on their feet, under the big top! Not to be confused with the last waltz, jitterbug or disco! ...change partners! And don't forget after the show tonight, to visit our "Super Freak Show" featuring, "Lady Malochai: The Zombie Goose from North Bridge". But pay no attention to that man behind the box! He is but... A ferris wheel operator. Ha haaaaa!!! I... Don't wanna dream. Don't wanna hear those people scream. & I... Never wanna hope. That a day ends up in smoke.

Wash your hands, go on & wash 'em clean. I'll show you thangs you ain't never seen. I'll fly you high, I'll drop you low. We can learn the things that the Nobodies know. I can't promise you'll come back the same. I can start the fire, but I can't bring the rain. Voices tamed still bring the pain, Chances are you'll stay the same, But other odds you'll start to see... You'll come out lookin' more like me. When you wash your hands, go on & wash 'em clean. I'll show you thangs you ain't never seen. I'll fly you high, I'll drop you low. We can learn the things that the Nobodies know. Empty pockets for completed deeds. Planted seeds grow dying trees. Wilted willows and angry ash, Meloncholy things, might make you laugh, Reflected feelings in your bath... Force your mind to do the math. As you Wash your hands, c'mon boy wash 'em clean. Wash away these things you've seen. As the darkest Queen betrayed her king, As the caged bird learns to sing, Wash your hands. Go on & wash 'em clean.

They're gathering on the horizon, More then ever before, It's assorted minions of darkness, In Bulk. Nobody's sure why they're comin', It's best you run - not walk, It's assorted minions of darkness, In bulk. They're tearin' through the town, it's clear this is the end. Say goodbye to your family, your pet goldfish and your friends. This could be the last time I ever see you, love. Before that winged thing with 13 eyes comes and eats us up. (Oh God Help Me) They're gathering on the horizon, More then ever before, It's assorted minions of darkness, In Bulk. Nobody's sure why they're comin', It's best you run - not walk, It's assorted minions of darkness, In bulk. Lock yourself in the cellar with your color TV screen. Everybody for themselves, don't mind your children's screams. "Daddy hurry help me!" - but you didn't open up the door. 'Cuz there's only pizza rolls for one and you're busy watchin' news reports. (That Say...) They're gathering on the horizon, More then ever before, It's assorted minions of darkness, In Bulk. Nobody's sure why they're comin', It's best you run - not walk, It's assorted minions of darkness, In bulk. I don't wanna get digested. Should that even be a question? I think we need assistance. Could this be some sort of message from mother earth?

Do you remember the last time you smiled? Were you standin' in the rain? Do you remember the last time you loved? & Did everything stay the same? Out of everything I've seen, These happy moments, Are few and far between. Do you remember the last time you cried? Did somebody go away? Do you remember the last time you were done? How long before you came right back to play? Do you recall when you thought that this was it? And what everyone else had to say? Do you remember the last time you honestly though... ...everything was gonna be ok? Out of everything I've seen, These happy moments, Are few and far between. I wish I could tell you, This is how things are meant to be, But there must be more, Then simply smiling in our dreams. In our dreams. In our dreams. In our dreams...

They made you paint your nails Jayne Marie. They made you dye your hair Jayne Marie. They changed all that you are, to save you through the times. Now you spiral through the night and nobody pays any mind. What happened to that smile ear to ear? You used to be so happy when folks came near. Now they wrap you up while you're sleeping and burn you alive at night. And when you wake in the morning, everyone's left you behind. They took you from your family long ago. They said, "Girl you can trust us." How could you have known? That the world would get so ugly, when you can't come around there. And by the time you do, no one's the way you found them. You just wanted to bring some joy and everyone asked you for more. You stop in to say hello and they run you from door to door. They made you paint your nails Jayne Marie. They made you dye your hair Jayne Marie. They changed all that you are, to save you through the times. Now you spiral through the night and nobody pays any mind. They changed all that you are, Jayne Marie.

Today's gonna be a terrible day, I walked outside and the sky was grey. Oh... Whoa whoa whoa. I strolled down the street lookin' up at the birds, To detour my attention from the body on the curb. Oh... Whoa whoa whoa. And I know what you're thinkin' "He's pessemistic, someone needs to stop him." But did you know, things can only get better When you're down at the bottom? So I embrace this terrible day And thank it for it's stormy weather. 'Cuz tomorrow, things can only get better. My head looks nappy and my clothes do too, But that's alright with me if it's alright with you. Oh... Whoa whoa whoa. Got lost outside someone tried to rob me, But I stood my ground so they only shot me. Oh... Whoa whoa whoa. And I know what you're thinkin' "He's pessemistic, someone needs to stop him." But did you know, things can only get better When you're down at the bottom? So I embrace this terrible day And thank it for it's stormy weather. 'Cuz tomorrow, things can only get better. 'Cuz tomorrow, things can only get better. 'Cuz tomorrow, things can only get better. (Foreward!!!) La la la la...

If I thought I could, I'd steal you away, I'd show you a place that words can't portray. Where emotions are stone and people are clay, I'd take you to the place where the nobodies play. We'd fit right in with weeping willow trees And everytime it blew, we would melt on the breeze. Someday we'd leave, when we woke from this dream And try to express what no one... Would believe... Moonlight on the pond and trips to the hill, Long winter nights that wouldn't give us the chills. Nobody dies, no one gets killed. I'd take you there now if I knew it was real. But lakes dry up and hearts do the same. And it hurts everytime I remeniss with the rain. We fall down at birth, in time, walk on a cane. & All in all we become... Nobody's pain. All in all, we become, Nobody's pain.

I think you're special even if no one else agrees. I couldn't help but notice you've been couting as you breathe. It feels like velvet as it slides into my ears. That soon your tears will dry and lead you back to here... ...on the pier. Walkin' through the garden gates, the trail winds through and through. I wish you pleasant imagining whenever it finds you. And even when the ivy grows on all that's come unglued. I'll be waiting... Up here enjoyin' the view. ...I'll see you soon. I think you're special even if no one else agrees. I couldn't help but notice you've been couting as you breathe. It feels like velvet as it slides into my ears. That soon your tears will dry and lead you back to here... ...on the pier. Strollin' down the southern shore of somewhere in my dreams. Water splashin' on the rocks, I asked it wash me clean. It started raining as you walked onto the scene. It cooled my mind... As you walked across the sea. ...With me. I think you're special even if no one else agrees. I couldn't help but notice you've been couting as you breathe. It feels like velvet as it slides into my ears. That soon your tears will dry and lead you back to here... ...on the pier.

I am a prisoner in my own skin. And I wonder... When's it my turn to win? Smiles in captivity long to be free. Darlin'... I'm so incomplete. And she wants me to come back to bed But there's so many thoughts runnin' through... My head. I should've stayed asleep today Under my sheets. 'Cuz it haunts me... Yeah it haunts me to make my retreat. And she wants me to come back to bed But there's so many thoughts runnin' through... My head.

Congradulations no one. Your baby just turned fifteen. That's how old you were when you had her. Bet you wish you woulda thought it over. And now she's tryin' hard to escape the grave. What could anyone have told her? There were no words to say. That could've changed the way... That things played out for her. Or took away... The things she'd seen. Made sense... Of all the good & bad. But there's no time for the comfort that she never had. Some call it a spectacle, What others call, "Run of the mill". When you're used to nothin', your everything Could be as simple as a meal. And who was anyone to tell her, she couldn't have it all? A little bit of guidance could've broke her fall. It could've changed the way... That things played out for her. Or took away... The things she'd seen. Made sense... Of all the good & bad. But there's no time for the comfort that she never had.

Somebody come & save this girl. Mixed up shawty in a cold ass world. Mom & Daddy gone And it don't look so good. Don't nobody ever treat her right. Put her down night after night. She needs a way Out of the neighborhood. But she got no hips, No style, no chips and a young child. No chance in the big fight. Tell me Trudy... What are you gonna do with your life? Trudy you're gonna fly high! And I put that on everything. Trudy you got everything You need to get by. Her body was a way to bring a decent wage. Even with a baby boy at such a young age. So she worked a gold pole Dancin' at the club. Her friends watched her son as the nights got longer. Years went by and ol' Trudy got stronger. But it still wasn't enough... She had no hips, No style, no chips and a young child. No chance in the big fight. Tell me Trudy... What are you gonna do with your life? Trudy you're gonna shine bright! And I put that on everything. Trudy you got everything You need to get by. Somebody knew somebody that could get Trudy a lead. To help the girl get everything she'd ever need. So she walked with her son to the other side of town. With an address in her hand to the city's biggest buildin'. She got a job watchin' after orphaned children. First time in her life someone ain't let her down. So what she's got no hips? She's got her own style. Now she's got chips And a smilin' child. She finally won, the big fight. So tell 'em Trudy... Just what you did with your life. Trudy you're doin' just fine! And I put it on everything. Trudy you got everything You need to get by.

There is a monster in the clouds. And all he wants is to come down. He could annihilate our town. But I told him he's not allowed... ...And he frowned. I see you Up in the blue. It's clear that You're lonely too. You're ugly and you're scary. But I think I'm gonna let you down. Please don't eat me. Please don't eat me. I waited until it got dark. -Pointed my flashlight at the sky- Built him a ladder full of parts. -Parts of things, it was trash night- That's when he climbed down to the park. -On a ladder made of parts- That's when he looked at me inside... ...He arrived. I see you Up in the blue. It's clear that You're lonely too. You're ugly and you're scary. But I think I'm gonna let you down. Please don't eat me. Please don't eat me.

Fire away with your falsified accusations. Get it out your system, say everything you gotta say. Do what you will, 'cuz when all the dust has settled... I'm headed right back to the station. Layin' my money on the table. Gettin' me a ticket, for the first train on it's way to far away... To far away from here... There is no love, where there is accusation. And there is no prize, in these little games we play. So do your worst and when all the dust has settled... I'm headed right back to the station. Layin' my money on the table. Gettin' me a ticket, for the first train on it's way to far away... To far away from here... So fire away with your falsified accusations. Get it out your system, say everything you gotta say.

There's a single cloud in the sky, Above the sky's horizon line, Where the trees are marching in a line, To the shore of a lake. The water's tint was overcast, Deep below a chain was fastened, To a brick, And a man who's face decayed. But if the universe imploded, nobody would notice, These little things that we let run the show. Have you seen them together, have you seen how he held her? He loves her... And he's never lettin' go. The mourning tide is coming in, The sand leads to the local inn, The thirteenth floor Has such a lovely view. You can see all across an open plain, To the neighbor town that farms their grain, Engulfed in flames, From the fire at their local saloon. But if the universe imploded, nobody would notice, These little things that we let run the show. Have you seen them together, have you seen how he held her? He loves her... And he's never lettin' go. Past the waters where bodies sunk And smoke filled up the skies and such, In a land of trunks and hoods and shattered plans. A full grown boy sat on his bed, Scribbled down some words and twirled his dreads, As he finished a song he thought No one would understand. But if the universe imploded, nobody would notice, These little things that we let run the show. Have you seen them together, have you seen how he held her? He loves her... And he's never lettin' go.

In the garden, where there's no light to see In the garden, I will feel you on your knees I saw her standin there, standin there all alone Screamin for her God to come and save her But the garden gates were closed So she called again and again and again Until her teary voice was ghost And I couldnt help but look away As the ivy overgrew her soul In the garden, where there's no light to see In the garden, I will feel you on your knees Men came marching, men came marching one at a time Over the rusted archways they would climb Under the cresecent moon's light They fall, they plead, demanding God should act out with speed But there are no bargains where we're sent Only eternity is spent In the garden, where there's no light to see In the garden, I will feel you on your knees

This song goes to the girl, Who's frown brigs down the showers, Who's smile passes the hours, But only when she aims. This song goes to the girl, who's sittin' in the meadow, & cherry blossom petals, are fallin' all the same. Standin' by the fountain, where time is never counted, Expressions never doubted, I'm so greatful that you came. No one can remember, Quite why they made you leave us, I see you when I'm dreamin' - A beauty never tamed. Girl who makes it rain, oh girl who makes it rain... Will you ever come my way, again? Oh your storms and your showers, Move the stones in the towers. My imagination's siren, is hootin' and a-cryin', Starin' at me empty eye-did, floodin' fulla' pain. I don't care you got no name, Cuz I'ma be your friend, From now until the end - So when I go, rain on my grave. Girl who makes it rain, oh girl who makes it rain... Will you ever come my way, again? Oh your storms and your showers, Move the stones in the towers. Nobody ever wants to stand by a girl who makes it rain, No, nobody ever wants to stand by a girl who doesn't have a name.
