Dizzy Up The Girl
1. DIZZY
(John Rzeznik)
You’re cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You’re monochrome delirious
You’re nothing that you seem
I’m drowning in your vanity
Your laugh is a disease
You’re dirty and you’re sweet
You know you’re everything I need
Chorus:
Everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever ever you want
I wanna kick at the machine
That made you piss away your dreams
And tear at your defenses
Till there’s nothing there but me
You’re angry when you’re beautiful
Your love is such tease
I’m drowning in your dizzy noise
I wanna feel you scream

2. SLIDE
(John Rzeznik)
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I give you anything
To feel it comin’
Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults
Chorus:
I wanna wake up where you are
I won’t say anything at all
So why don’t you slide
Yeah we’re gonna let it slide
Don’t you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
Don’t suppose I’ll ever know
What it means to be a man
Something I can’t change
I’ll live around it
Chorus
And I’ll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away
And I’ll do anything you ever
Dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
May put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
May do you wanna get married
Or run away

3. BROADWAY
(John Rzeznik)
Chorus:
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sitting
In the old man’s bar
Waiting for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night’s gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it’s someplace that you’ve been
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
And you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten around here
Chorus
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don’t impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the losers day parade
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world that you’re best forgotten
And when you’re thinkin’ of a joke
And nobody’s gonna listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here
Chorus
You see you’d love to run home
But you know you ain’t got one
’Cause you’re livin’ in a world
That you’re best forgotten
And if you’re thinkin’ of a joke
Do you think that they’ll listen
To the one small point
I know they been missin’ round here

4. JANUARY FRIEND
(Robby Takac)
Reach
For higher ground
About the way you look
The way you scream out loud
Mine
Just like the last time
It’s all the same to me
She said
Chorus:
Let’s pretend
My January friend
I’m wantin’ you again
I wanna touch you
Every single heart that beats pretend
My January friend
I’m wantin’ you again
I wanna touch you
Every single heart that beats
Cry
Don’t cry out loud
You’ve gotta bear your cross
But never think too loud
And you’re tied
Tied to the next time
You realize
Your crimes
Chorus
Time stood still
Monday morning yeah. . .
Showed me what I had to see
It’s not the way I thought it should be
Oh yeah
You’re my January friend
You’re my January friend
You’re my January friend
And every heart that beats pretend
My January friend
You’re my January friend
You’re my January friend
And every heart that beats tonight’s pretend

5. BLACK BALLOON
(John Rzeznik)
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you’re not thinking about tomorrow
’Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone’s prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What’s the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room
Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
And there’s no time left for losin’
When you stand they fall
Comin’ down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you grow colder
All because I’m
Comin’ down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I’ll go on to bring you home
All because I’m
All because I’m
And I’ll become
What you became to me

6. BULLET PROOF
(John Rzeznik)
Do you listen to yourself
Ever live for someone else
Do you like the way you feel
Nothing hurts when no one’s real
She wants to shake this scene
Yeah she wants to shake with me
She’s not looking for the holes in all the lies
I wanna bullet proof your soul
Would you like to lose control
I won’t let you fall until you tell me so
What are we?
(Watcha wanna be)
Everything!
That you wanna be
All I need
(Right in front of me)
I’ve known before
Chorus:
Would you come my way
Or did you burn out on the way
Would you come my way
Should have listened when you called my name
Yeah she wants to tear you down
And she leaves without a sound
It’s like fallin’ backwards
Into no one’s arms
You’re a bullet through my soul
But I’ll never let you know
I won’t let you fall until you let it go
What are we?
(Watcha wanna be)
Everything!
That you wanna be
All I need
(Right in front of me)
I’ve known before
Would you come my way
Did you burn out on the way
Would you come my way
Should have listened
When you called my name

7. AMIGONE
(Robby Takac)
Every time you point your finger
3 more point right back at you
I’m not sayin’ that it’s something wrong with life
’Cause that’s a sad excuse
An age old game of rat and mouse
Chasin’ us from house to house
I’m not sayin’ that is something wrong with you
Is wrong with me as well
Are you alive
Amigone
. . .Miracles gone wrong
Is it to late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
. . .Miracles gone wrong
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone
Heavenly intoxication
Love’s been marred by medication
Ain’t it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone
I’m not sayin’ that it’s something
I’m not gonna play along
I’m not wishin’ for a miracle
That miracle’s gone wrong
And you’re too strong
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong

8. ALL EYES ON ME
(Music: John Rzeznik/Lyrics: The Goo Goo Dolls)
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes
Its hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself
I wondered what you’re thinkin’
And everything you’re chasing
It seems to leave you empty
Chorus:
And it won’t take long to burn
Through the nothing that you’ve learned
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It’s so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away
You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back
I lie and have to laugh
Chorus
And you hide in your room
And the light burns away
And you move from the truth
It’s all so far from you

9. FULL FOREVER
(Robby Takac)
And I’ve had to fight
Another blurred affair tonight
Eyelids wrestle once again
Never gonna see my friend
Guided by the blinding white
Have you left home in spite
Knowing I’m alone tonight
Waiting for the light of day
Doesn’t matter anyway
Something that I need to say
And I’ve gone underground
Never hangin’ round
Should have made it back again
Chorus:
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Wednesday’s bad but Friday ain’t much better
. . .Someone’s hell
Why can’t the moon stay full forever
Right now she’s got nothin’ on her mind
Will this neverland
Free me from its clutching hand
It won’t release me
And I’ve gone underground
Obsessions I have found
Couldn’t make it back again

10. ACOUSTIC #3
(John Rzeznik)
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all this screaming
No one’s listening anyway
Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
’Cause she’s got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
’Cause the world got in her way
What’s the point ever trying
Nothing’s changing anyway
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you’re falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
When the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all the screaming
You’re not listening anyway

11. IRIS
( John Rzeznik)
And I’d give up forever to touch you
’Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight
Chorus:
And I don’t want the world to see me
’Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you’re alive

12. EXTRA PALE
(Robby Takac)
Extra pale
Oh you’re frail now
I shouldn’t laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free
I should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
How’s your day
Did it go your way but
You never ask about it
All the things I wish I’d be I
Should have known it from the start
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your sighs
Extra pale
Oh you’re frail now
I shouldn’t laugh about it
Tragedy sets you free but
I should have known that it was
Just another sequel
Just another reason for you
Just another sequel
Just another reason for your lies

13. HATE THIS PLACE
(John Rzeznik)
Gone away
Who knows where you been
You take all your lies
And wish them all away
I somehow doubt
We’ll ever be the same
There’s too much poison
And confusion on your face
Can you feel it
I didn’t mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin’
I think I love you
But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ you don’t know
Hold on dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade
Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah I can take your lies
Until you fall away
You know I’m lost
Hiding in your bed
No I don’t think it’s wrong
It’s just gone to my head
Can you feel it
I didn’t mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin’
I think I love you
But I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ you don’t know
Hold on dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade
Hey watcha do to me
Would you come back to me
Yeah I can’t do another day
I’m not certain of it anyway
I’m not messin’ with another life
Can I get on without you
Tell me lies
That you
Know I need
Hold on dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade
Hold on dreamaway
You’re my sweet charade
