as the day goes on I grow tired
your voice is constant it is constant
possibly in my head
can't get it outward said
possibly in my brain
I think I'm going insane

but I'm sick of your morals
I'm sick of them (I'm sick of them)

my mother told me what to do today
m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-my
hey, hey

open the window
I won't apologize for him
I knew exactly what he would do
if you treated him as a friend
you know you're too nice
for your own good

the best way to go
is to sneak out at night
window's always open
you're not afraid of heights

how many times has it been now
that he has called you up just to talk
I think that I'd call the police
when he follows you around the block

remember jeffery from grade 10?
I'm really glad that he moved away
and paul and jason and kevin
it's too bad they decided to stay

the best way to go
is to sneak out at night
window's always open
you're not afraid of heights
but you're afraid of....

phil was always here
no matter what I do
you'll do it too
no matter where I go
you'll get there too

next time I see you I'm going another way

no matter what I say
you'll find a way
to say the same thing
a little differently

no matter what I do
you'll do it too
no matter where I go
you'll get there too

i don't know
I saw you walking
just the other day
but you didn't notice me
you didn't even look my way

and I don't know how it feels
to be all alone
but what from what I felt back then
I don't want it anymore

a man was talking
just the other day
wasn't talking to me
but I listened anyway
he said I'm lonely
I live here all alone
my children grew up
my wife died a year ago

3:30 on the hill
I wanted to apologize
I never said that you were wrong
I can't believe that you did it too
but still you made me feel so dumb
although I haven't seen you yet
when I do I'll break your neck

you wanted to apologize
you never said that I was wrong
I can't believe that I did it too
but still I made you feel so dumb
although you're hiding from me now
sooner or later you'll have to come out

you said you wanted to
you said you wanted to
you said you wanted to
you wanted to

wont anybody                                           won't anybody tell me what's wrong
tell me what's wrong                                 tell me what's wrong
why won't they even                                  why won't they even try to get along
try to get along                                        try to get along
don't try to save me it                              don't try to save me it will never work
will never work                                          will never work
I'm going to chase it                                 I going to just chase till it hurts
until it hurts                                             until it hurts

although I haven't seen you yet
when I do I'll break your neck
you said you wanted to
you said you wanted to
you said you wanted to
you wanted to

in the sink
today, today,
today is not my day
tomorrow, tomorrow
tomorrow will be my day

when I woke up in the morning
I was feeling kinda boring
so I had to do something to change it
so I brought my worm collection
over to your house but you weren't interested
you told your friend
who told my friend
who told me you thought I was dirty
but my worms are perfectly clean
I wash them twice a day in the sink

I wash them twice a day in the sink
the sink
the sink
I wash them twice a day in the

when I woke up in the morning
I was feeling kinda boring
so I had to do something to change it
but my brother brought my worms
down to the brook, yeah
he says he's gone fishing
and if only I could have my worm collection
I could find a way
to stop all this fussing
but my worms are kinda lame
I think I'll get a barbie instead
I think I'll get a barbie instead
instead
instead
I think I'll get a barbie in...

shoot to scoop
people sitting next to me
must wonder who I am
funny hat and all
not to mention a bow tie

and maybe it's not strange
but I like it better
and maybe it's not cool
but I gave up on that

so I liked you way back then
who really cares
your mother always hated me
I think she wanted to shoot me

only in the movies
she didn't sleep in her room
for fear she'd wake up dead
she didn't let her feet
hang over the side of the bed
she closed her eyes tight
so she wouldn't see the things in the dark
and many times she wondered
if she'd have a heart attack
a heart attack
the girl in black
with a hundred stars next to her name
and a perfect score
she's a big girl
no she's not
not
not
not

would you tell me a story
to put my mind at ease
would you leave on my night light
or something please
remind me that things only happen
in the movies

I don't suppose you'd realize
how it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
how it feels
I don't suppose you'd realize
I don't suppose you'd realize

she didn't sleep in her room
for fear she'd wake up dead
she didn't let her feet
hang over the side of the bed
she closed her eyes tight
so she wouldn't see the things in the dark
and many times she wondered
if she'd have a heart attack

the phone, the phone (Real Audio)
you told me to call you but
you know I don't use the phone,
the phone
I'd like to speak some more but
I'm scared of the dialtone
dialtone

I go to school in the                        I'm locked up in my room again
bottom of your pool                        listening to my entire
bottom of your pool                        record collection
I go to sleep when I                         I haven't talked to anyone
finish counting sheep                       I guess Duran Duran are
finish counting sheep                       my only friends

I'm going to get you now
and there is nothing much to do
to do
so I'll just sit here and wait
thinking of reasons to call you
which I'll never do

show me who I am
show me who I am
I am me

I go to school in the                        I'm locked up in my room again
bottom of your pool                        listening to my entire
bottom of your pool                        record collection
                                                      I haven't talked to anyone
                                                      I guess Duran Duran are
                                                      my only friends

aquarius (Real Audio)
I used to think
things a little differently
used to think
I'd never find someone like me
used to wonder
about everything
under the sea
and 'bout changes
perhaps you can see
    see
see
    see
see
    see

I'm like a bug laying on its back
I try to move but I'm stuck fast
I lay there wondering why someone
won't just push me over
    over
over
    over

I wore your sweater so
I could pretend you were there
but I got sadder
so sad I didn't care
if I had supper or practiced my guitar
I know it's stupid
but like you said before
I didn't care
I didn't care
I didn't care

sodium chloride
shining bright when the moon's on me
as I walk below its light
I'm a person who's afraid of the dark
but I'm not scared tonight
and I'm glad that you're not with me
yes I'm glad that you're not with me

Hopefully I'm looking satisfied
but I won't wait around to die
and if you think I'll stick around for you
you've got something too
do you think there was there something I wanted to say
I wasn't romantic anyway
did you think you don't mean that much to me
well, I agree

but I hope that you are feeling alright
yes I hope that you are feeling alright
yes I hope that you are feeling alright
feeling alright
alright
alright
alright

shining bright when the moon's on me
as I walk below its light
I'm a person who's afraid of the dark
but I'm, but I'm, but I'm not scared tonight
and I'm glad that you're not with me
yes I'm glad that you're not with me

july 3rd
I wouldn't want you
to take offense
but I returned
that gift you sent
I could see that it was just right for you

why do they say
think of yourself
when you choose something
for someone else
my birthday wishes never come true

I should have know
now that I'm grown
I'm one year older and
I'm not much bolder
you should have warned me
this was the way it was going to be
I wanted a party but
there'll be one next year maybe

to you it's just
another day
but my next birthday's
so far away
I wish that you had remembered
It seems to be
pretty unfair
you're sixteen too
but I don't care
I won't be calling you July 3rd

good time to tell me
The morning sun
never shines through
no matter all the things I do
things I do

now all my life
has been pleasure and pain
neither one is fine
cause they feel the same
feel the same

I love
the way
you talk to me
I love
the way
you talk to me
I love
the way
you talk to me
I love
I love
the way
you talk to me
just this once
give me my say
don't interrupt
don't walk away
just this once
I'd like to be okay

now I don't know 'bout you
but I can speak for me
my world is a happy place to be
place to be

I love
the way
you talk to me
I love
the way
you talk to me
I love
the way
you talk to me
I love
I love
the way
you talk to me
just this once
give me my say
don't interrupt
don't walk away
just this once
I'd like to be okay
