Our Lady Peace--Clumsy

1. Superman's Dead

Will 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

Chorus:
Ow aoooooooo.. Alone...
I'm thinking why.... yeah, Superman's Dead
Yeah, Is it in my head?
Yeah, Just laugh instead 
You worry about the weather
And whether or not you should hate

Are 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 is just not good enough today

(Chorus)

Why.....
Doesn't anybody ever know... that the world is a subway?


2. Automatic Flowers

And 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 find

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

Another brick
Another window frames 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 find

(Chorus)

She never admit it
She never could considered
That she always needs better
She's wasting all the time

(Chorus)


3. Carnival

You know you're not a strong man
And you're just about to cry
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

Chorus:
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
And everyone is sane
You'll be there


4. 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

Chorus:
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)


5. 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

Chorus:
And If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like the sunny days that
We ignore 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)


6. 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
You're rushing to meditate
You should eat but probably wait
You never thought of yourself

Chorus:
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
Can it last will it last, can it last

(Chorus)

Who lets you in...


7. 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

Chorus:
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)


8. Hello Oskar

Over there well he's wondering
Is Oskar there is, Oskar all right
Was never cool not allowed to fit 
He never knew what he liked 

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 himself

Chorus:
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 himself

(Chorus)

I will do...

(Chorus)


9. Let You Down

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

Chorus:
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 dizzies
And I wish I was there

(Chorus)


10. 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

Chorus:
Anacin, we're stumbling again
And it's the story of a 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)


11. 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
Oh its too much to take
So you're running away

Chorus:
But oh...
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
Oh well, it was too hard to tell
He was swerving they were swerving
Much too late

(Chorus)
