1st Lyrics

My name is Jonas

My name is Jonas
I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us
But this if how we feel
Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it
The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket cost only your mind
The driver said "hey man, we go all the way"
Of course we were willing to pay.

My name is wepeel
I gotta box full or your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now the wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother

The building's not goin' as it's planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear its path
The driver swears he learned his math
The workers are goin' Home!

No One Else

My girl's got a big mouth
With which she blabbers a lot
She laughs at most everything
Whether it's funny or not
And if you see her
Tell her it's over now

   I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
   When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
   When I'm away she never leaves the house
   I want a girl who laughs for no one else

My girl's got eyeballs
In the back of her head
She looks around and around
You know it makes me sad to see her like that
Please don't believe her she says that for anyone
And if you watch her go...
Watch her, watch her, watch her!

The World Has Turned and Left Me Here

   The world has turned and left me here
   Just where I was before you appeared
   And in your place an empty space
   has filled the void behind my face

I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day

I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't

Do you believe what I sing now?

Buddy Holly

What's with these homies, dissin' my girl
Why do they gotta front
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent

   Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
   Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
   Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

      Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
      Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
      I don't care what they say about us anyway
      I don't care 'bout that

Don't you ever fear, I'm always hear
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian

Bang! Bang a knock on the door
another big bang and your down on the floor
Oh no! what do I do?
Don't look know but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick?
what's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue?

Undone - The Sweater Song

"Hey bra', how we doin' man?"
"Awright."
"It's been a while man, Life's so rad! This band's my
  favorite man, don't ya love 'em?"
"Yeah."
"Aw man, you wan't a beer?"
"Awright."
"Aw man, this is the best. I'm so glad we're all back
  together and stuff. This is great man."
"Yeah."
"Hey, d'you know about the party after the show?"
"Yeah."
"Aw man, it's gonna be the best, I'm so stoked! Take it
  easy bra'."

I'm me
Me be
Goddamn
I am
I can
Sing and
Here me
Know me

   If you want to destroy my sweater
   Hold this thread as I walk away
   Watch me unravel I'll soon be naked
   Lying on the floor, I've come undone

"Hey, what's up?"
"Not Much."
"Did you hear about the party?"
"Yeah."
"I think I'm gonna go but, um, my friends don't
  really wanna go. Could I get a ride?"

Oh no
It go
It gone
Bye-Bye
Do I
I think
I sink
and I die

      I don't want to destroy your tank-top
      Let's be friends and just walk away
      Hate to see you lyin' there in your
        Superman skivvies
      Lying on the floor, I've come undone

Surf Wax America

The Sea is foaming like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin' but I ain't got no fear
I'm waxin' down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxin' down because it's really a blast
I'm goin' surfin' cuz I don't like your face
I'm bailin' out because I hate the race
of Ratts that run Round and Round in the maze
I'm goin' surfin', I'm goin' surfin'!

   You take your car to work
   I'll take my board
   And when you're out of fuel
   I'm still afloat

My buddies and their homies all come along
They seem invincible as they surf along
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
We've goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin'!

All along the undertow is strengthening its hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home

Say it Ain't So

Somebody's Heine'
is crowdin' my icebox
somebody's cold one
is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes
Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

   Say it ain't so
   Your drug is a heartbreaker
   Say it ain't so
   My love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way
is a waterslide away from me
that takes you further every day
So be cool

Dear Daddy, I write you
in spite of years of silence.
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
things are good or so I hear.
This bottle of Steven's
awakens ancient feelings.
Like father, stepfather,
the son is drowning in the flood.

In The Garage

I've got the dungeon Master's Guide
I've got a 12-sided die
I've got Kitty Pryde
and Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me
yes I do, I do
I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group Kiss
I've got Ace Frehley
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
yes I do, I do

   In the garage
   I feel safe
   No one cares about my ways
   In the garage
   Where I belong
   No one hears me sing this song
   In the garage

I've got an electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
and I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do

Holiday

Let's go away for a while
you and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway

   holiday
   far away
   to stay
   on a Holiday
   Far away
   let's go today
   in a Heartbeat!

Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay

We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse

On the road with Kerouac,
Sheltered in his Bivouac,
On this road we'll never die...

Let's go away!

Only in Dreams

You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She is your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air
In between molecules
Of Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

   Only in dreams
   We see what it means
   Reach out our hands
   Hold on to hers
   But when we wake
   It's all been erased
   And so it seems
   Only in dreams

You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says:
"hey, baby I just might take the chance"
You say "It's a good thing
That you float in the air
That way there's no way
I will crush your pretty toenails
into a thousand pieces."

Only in dreams.
