Lyrics from A Boy Named Goo
Long Way Down
Oh here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
There's nothing I could say
Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me I'm not there
Almost human but I'll never be the same
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't wanna live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Did they push you down
Did they throw you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
Theres' nothing I could say
Is there anything to feel
Is it pain that makes you real
Cut me off before it kills me
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't wanna live in here alone
Long was down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
I never pushed you down
I never threw you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mnd a new diease
And the black and white world never fades to gray
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't wanna live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
On my own
On my own
Burnin' Up
Said you're burning up inside
No one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized
Manual from hell
Life is pretty easy
When it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside
And no one cares
Said you had enough this time
Cause time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence
While I drew parallel
And life it seems so easy
When it's from my easy chait
And you're burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt me
Try to take my hand tonight
I'll show you where to start
Cause every word that left your lips
Is like a needle through my heart
And life it seems so easy
When it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt my eyes
(Cause you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cause you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cause you're burnin' up inside)
Naked
Yeah I'm fading
And I call out
No one hears me
Never been never felt never thought I'd say a word
Weighed down
Safe now
You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
The shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
Yeah I'm hiding
In the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me don't want me don't hear a word I say
Weighed down
Safe now
You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark form empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care
You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
Shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone
Flat Top
Flat top intervention
Bringin' home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you'r on
Sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Look at all the washed out hippie dreams
And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke theyre trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for awhile
The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV
And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for awhile
And my dirty dreams all come alive
On my TV screen
And assassination plots
SHowme what I haven't got
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
Show it all to me
And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I'll turn my head off for awhile
Impersonality
When I was three feet tall
I loved them all
And lived life for myself
Falling downl for laughs
And photographs
Some puppets made of felt
Watching life in Oz THanksgiving Eve
On Grandma's old tv
Dancing roundabout
I'd twist and shout for everyone to see
Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me
Mama's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth
Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now
But I'll shout out loud for everyone to see
Never got to know you
Did you ever wonder why?
Now it's nice to know you
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all?
Now I'm so proud of you
O'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your realities
Impersonality
It's leaning hard on me
Impersonality
it's leaning hard on me
Name
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
Now we're grown up orphans
I never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for awhile
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell 'em your name
The scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to knwo that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
Now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing
On a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
I won't tell 'em your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need to say
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
Only One
I'll open up my head awhile
It's been dead for years
Must have been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other for my health
The last is something bigger than myself
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
I'm talking to myself again
I'll just start a fight
Nobody can prove me wrong
I'm right
Anti-gero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers will try to fill your shoes
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
Little pictures in my head
Are turning inside out again
Cuz fucking up takes practice
I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully
And the future's even worse
Now tell me what you fear
Cuz I can feel it like a curse
Well you used to be a folk singer
Now you're just a joke singer
Ain't so smoking sopr singer
Swining from a rope singer
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
Something Bad
