1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours
all songs by Billie Joe, except "I was There" by John

1. At the Library
Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you.
My chance is looking a bit gray

Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time

What is that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me go so insane
That makes me fell so much pain
What is it about you that I adore?
(repeat chorus)

Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well it happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again some day.

2. Don't Leave Me
I'll go for miles
Till I find you
You can say want to leave with me
But you can't choose
I've gone through pain
Every day and night
I fell my mind is going insane
Something I can't fight

Don't leave me (2x)

A blank expression
Covering your face
I'm looking for directions
For out of this place
I start to wonder
If you'll come back
I feel the rain storming
After thunder
I can't hold back
(repeat chorus 4x)

3. I was There
Looking back upon my life
And places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls I loved
I try to remember when
Faded memories on the wall
Some names I have forgotten
But each one is a memory
I look back on so often

I look into the past
And I want to make it last
I was there

Looking back what I have done
There's lots more life to live
At times I feel overwhelmed
I question what I can give
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow
(repeat chorus 2x)

Looking back upon my life
Faded memories on the wall
Looking now at who I am
I don't let it get me down.
(repeat 1st verse then repeat chorus 2x)

4. Disappearing Boy
Now you see, now you don't
Don't ask me where I'm at
Cause I'm a million miles away
Treated like a for bidden heel
Don't say my thoughts are not for real
Or you won't see me again

Am I here or am I there
Or am I playing on the stairs
Am I in my room with my toys
I am the disappearing boy

When I walk in crowded room
I feel as if it is my doom
I know that I don't belong
In the room I see her
I see her and she's with him
I turn around then I'm gone

Don't call me up cause I'm not home
My where abouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy
I'm the disappearing boy

I have my doubts
Of where I belong
It's something to think about
(repeat chorus)

5. Green Day
A small cloud has fallen
The white mist hits the ground
My lungs comfort me with joy
Vegging on one detail
The rest just crowds around
My eyes itch of burning red

Picture sounds
Of moving insects so surreal
Lay around
Looks like i found something new

Laying in bed
I think I'm in the left field
I picture someone, I think it's you
You're standing so damn close
My body begins to swell
Why does 1+1 make 2?
(repeat chorus)

6. Going to Pasalacqua
Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems
Much more more than this but
I'm not sure exactly what your thinking

I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that it's no different at all
I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say...
What the hey!?!

Would I last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away (far away)
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way (far away)
(repeater song again)

7. 16
Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older and older all the time
I ask you now, what does this mean?
Are all these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when your a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
The length I've gone are just long miles
Would they be shorter if i were dead

Every time I look in my past
I always wish I was there
I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair

Look at my friends and see what they've done
Ask myself why they had to change
I like them better when they were young
Now all these times are rearranged
I look down and stand there and cry
Nothing ever will be the same
The sun is rising now I ask why?
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain
(repeat chorus, then repute 1st verse and chorus again.)

8. Road to Acceptance
I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never so exactly what i want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

I fell forgotten
Fell like rotting
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)

I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred.
If you stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same
It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain

All my life I've seem to have this need
I think at times it even turns greed.
We all want to join some family.
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing
(repute chorus 2x)

9. Rest
Hey can you here me?
I'm calling your name
Hello? or is this good bye?
The gleam in your eyes
It troubles my brain
Will I see it again?
So I can rest my head

Angel! Dancing away
As all of my thoughts get rearranged
Angel! turning away
Just when things seem to have changed
So I can rest my head
(repeat song again)

10. The Judge's Daughter
Princess in a school girl's dream
May I please speak to you?
I'm having troubles with control
And it's all because of you
Today I kept on falling down
I thought it was the street
So I look down at my shoes
They were on the wrong feet

I find it hard to be myself
(Can you please explain?)
I do not think that it's my health
(Your the one to blame)
You're the one I wish I had
And now my girlfriends getting mad
(I cannot call this sane)

Today as I was walking down
You bumped into me
You said "excuse me" and walked away
As I dropped to my knees
I prayed to the being in the sky
That my parents told my of
I asked about you but no reply
No clues about your love

I find it hard to be myself
(Can you please explain?)
I do not think that it's my health
(Your the one to blame)
My girlfriend left me on the phone
I'm pathetically left here alone
(I cannot call this sane)

Can we find a way
So that you can stay
I think I'm gonna pop
(repeat chorus then last verse)

11. Paper Lanterns
Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness
That had you on my mind
Those days are gone and now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now and then I'll see you again
And it puts my hart to the test

So when are all my problems going to end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you

As the days go on I wonder
(Will this ever end?)
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am is
Just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too?
(repeat chorus 2x)

12. Why do You Want Him?
I saw you standing alone
With a sad look on your face
You call him on the phone
Looks like he left you without a trace
Tears falling out of your eyes
He's leaving in a disguise
You've felling bad for so long
You wonder if he's wrong or right

Why do you want him? (3x)

Now many days have gone by
And you still just sit there and cry
You've feeling bad for yourself
His memory will always dwell
You're so obsessed with his love
That's when push comes to shove
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong

Why do you want him? (7x)

13. 409 in Your Coffeemaker
I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head.
Even more time gets wasted
In a daze

It should seem obvious to you
Your screams and cries are never going to work
And all of your time gets wasted
In my daze

And I'm looking back now
At where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing
To break through these chains
These chains that control
My future's aim...

I sit in a state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted
In a daze

Maybe I'm just to damn lazy
Or maybe I was just to brain washed to think that way
And all of your time gets wasted
In my daze
(repeat chorus)

15. 1000 Hours
Starlit night
The moon is shining bright
You are the one that I need
Up at your window
I see a shadow
Silhouette of your grace
Here's this flower
I picked for all the hours
That you've spent with me
The one I love
Sailing across the sea

Let my hands flow through your hair.
Moving closer
A kiss well share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

Nothing's more
Than what our love is for
As I kiss your cheek
Oh so softly
Hands flowing down my back
1000 hours, I'll never leave
Our romance
Is a love trance
And now we'll never part
1000 hours
Of such a love shower
We'll never stop, once we start.
(repeat chorus 3x)

16. Dry Ice
Late last night I had a dream
And she was in it again
She and I were in the sky
Flying hand in hand
I woke up in a cold sweat
Wishing she was by side
Praying that she'll dry tears
Left on my face I 've cried

Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend

I'll send a letter to this girl
Asking her to be my own
But my pen is writing wrong
So I'll say it in a song
Oh I love you more right now
More than I've ever loved before
Here's those words straight from these lips
I'll love you forever more
(repeat course, then repeat first verse and chorus again.)

17. Only of You
I wish I could tell you
But the words would come out wrong
Oh if you only knew
The way I felt for so long
I know that we're worlds apart
But I just don't seem to care
These feelings in my heart
Only with you I want to share

The first time I got a glimpse of you
Then my thoughts were only of you

I hope when the time goes by
You will think the same about me
Many nights awake I lie
I only wish that you could see
I know that were only friends
I hope this feeling never ends
If I could only hold you
It's the only thing I want to do.
(repeat chorus)

18. The One I Want
Sitting in my room last night
Staring at the mirror
I couldn't find the reason why
I couldn't be near her

Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you say

Cause you are the on that I want  (repeat about 4x)

Pictures going through my mind
When were together
All these long and sleepless nights
Will I ever get better
(repeat chorus about 4 more x)

Now you know how I feel
This love is forever
You make my life seem so unreal
Will I ever get better
(repeat chores about 7 x)

19. I Want to be Alone
I lock myself inside my room
I wanna be alone
With you around, You'll only add on
I wanna be alone
Just let me be with my thoughts
I wanna be alone
With you around, You'll only add on
I wanna be alone

Please don't think I'm crazy
I don't want you to understand
My mind is growing hazy
To hell with you helping hand
Why don't you just leave me alone
This conflict is my own
Keep your sources away from me
That's all.
(repeat song 2x)

I want to be alone.
