SUPERMAN'S DEAD

Do you worry that you're not liked? 
How long 'til you break? 
You're happy cause you smile 
But how long can you fake? 
An ordinary boy, with an ordinary name 
But ordinary's just not good enough today 
Alone...I'm thinking why Superman's Dead 
Is it in my head? 
Just laugh instead 
You worry about the weather 
And whether or not you should hate 

Now you're worried about your faith 
Kneel down and obey 
You're happy, you're in love 
You need someone to hate 
An ordinary girl, with an ordinary waist 
But ordinary's just not good enough today 
(Chorus) 
Doesn't anybody ever know... that the world is a subway? 

AUTOMATIC FLOWERS

Sara thinks she's died here once before, 
She's crazy 
A pop-up book of flowers from grade 4, are driving her insane 
And no-one knows why she's sad tonight 
No-one can help her fight 

Crying, she couldn't afford the view 
Crying, these automatic flowers won't do 

Another brick another window frames the confusion 
Her garden blooms, but Sara can't see straight 
She's drinking herself blind 
And no-one knows why she's stands outside 
No-one can help her fight 
(Chorus) 
She'd never admit it, she never could considered 
That she always needs better she's wasting all her time 
(Chorus) 

CARNIVAL

You know you're not a strong man, and you're just about to cry 
Hang on, hang on, it's all right 
You worry about the future 
The sign said: "Yoga class for cats" 
It's okay, it's okay, It's no fun 
You're frustrated by the cracks in the pavement 
And every mother's back once again 
The carnival closed down 
But if this world would ever turn around 

And the dynamite is waiting 
Cause they bankrupted the sky 
It's okay, it's okay, it's no fun 
(Chorus) Break your mother's back 
If you step on the cracks 
As everybody says 
(Chorus) 
You'll be there when everyone is sane, 
You'll be there 

BIG DUMB ROCKET

I've never seen your breath before 
But I'm disgusted by the thought of waiting anymore 
If I look into your eyes 
Will you notice me or notice it or fade into this accident 

And I don't want to find 
The big dumb rocket on your mind 
And I don't want to find that it's mostly you and mostly me 
And a tired gun that's not empty 

I've never been this sad before 
But I'm offended by my fingertips and what they've done 
And If I look into your eyes 
Well if it must be true you must believe I've never held such violent things 
(Chorus) 
I've never talked to God before tonight 
But I'm disgusted by... 
(Chorus) 

4am

I walked around my good intentions 
And found that there were none 
I blame my father for the wasted years, We hardly talked 
I never thought I would forget this hate 
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong 

And If I don't make it know that I've loved you all along 
Just like the sunny days that 
We never knew because 
We're all dumb and jaded 
And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong 

I walked around my room not thinking, 
Just sinking in this box 
I blame myself for being too much like somebody else 
I never thought I would just bend this way 
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong 
(Chorus)  

SHAKING

So, you fucked this up again 
It's time for you to leave 
You never had many friends 
And you thought this was all right 
Rushing to meditate 
You should eat but probably wait 
You never thought of yourself 

Why are you shaking 
Why are you right 
When I will be the only one who gives 
And lets you in tonight 

Walk, you could never walk away 
From this speedfreak collagen 
Caffinated place 
You were always reaching in 
Looking for somewhere to go 
And nobody needs to find out, 
And nobody needs to know 
What you know 
(Chorus) 
So, you wonder about the past 
When you know that its already been 
Nothing seems to last 
Will it last, can it last? 
(Chorus) 

CLUMSY

Throw away the radio suitcase 
That keeps you awake 
Hide the telephone in case 
You realize that sometimes you're not okay 
You level off but its not all right now 
You need to understand 
There's nothing strange about this 
You need to know your friends 
You need to know that 
I'll be waving my hand watching you drown 
Watching you scream, quiet or loud 
And maybe you should sleep 
And maybe you just need a friend 
As clumsy as you've been 
There's no one laughing 
You will be safe in here 

Throw away this very old shoelace 
That tripped you again 
Try and shrug it off 
It's only skin now 
You need to understand 
There's nothing fake about this 
You need to let me in 
I'm watching you 
(Chorus) 

HELLO OSKAR

Over there he's the rubberman 
A rubber dress with Betty Page eyes 
Was never cool he'll never settle down 
He's not allowed to drive 
He'll build a bridge then walk around 
Don't ever call him dumb 
He's not that bright 
He's not here 

I will take you somewhere 
Somewhere to unwind 
You're tangled up in all this shit 
I will make you mine 

There's nothing wrong 
He's a superstar 
A taximan, and a young Einstein 
Was never cool he'll never settle down 
He's not allowed to drive 
He'll build a bridge then walk around 
Leave that boy alone 
He's not that bright 
He's not all tight 
He's not here 
(Chorus) 

LET YOU DOWN

Hey, what do you see 
Its not me, it's not me 
Why, why won't you share 
It's not fair, it's not fair 
There's a bicycle show 
Where the bicycle's float 
And I wouldn't of cared 

And I won't be the one who bothers you 
And I won't be the one who lets you down 

Now that you're there 
You're not scared 
Why would you care 
It's your dream 
Not theirs 
There's a cigarette thief 
Stealing cigarette disease 
And I wish I was there 
(Chorus) 

STORY OF 100 AISLES

Help yourself 
If you know why you came 
Cause if you need help, she says 
There's something I've got saved 
This is not what you wanted 
These candy coated fakes 
This is not what you wanted 
This is pain 

Anacin, we're stumbling again 
And it's the story of one hundred aisles 

Walk away from simple on a tray 
Cause if you need help, she says 
These fancy pills don't rate 
This is not what you wanted 
A miracle today 
This is not what you wanted 
This is pain 
(Chorus) 

Time is not for sale today 
And time seems so far away 
And time is not for sale today 
You need more than this 
Depressed come here try this 
(Chorus) 

CAR CRASH

Tired and jaded 
This road is unsafe 
Have you been there 
But time is on your side 
You're too stubborn to wait 
Are you listening 
They want you to know 
They want you to stay 
Its too much to take 
So you're running away 
It's more than I can bear 

Car crash ending your day 
At the side of the road 
Are you trembling 
They'll wake up today 
To the papers that say 
Well, it was too hard to tell 
He was swerving, they were swerving 
Much too late 
(Chorus)

Go Back to Our Lady Peace.
