1. SUPERMAN

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world's
Falling down around me

The nights are all long
I'm singing this song
To try and make the answers
More than maybe

And I'm so confused
About what to do
Sometimes I want
To throw it all away

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

And here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of the sheep
My mind is racing faster
Every minute

What could I do more
Yeah I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles
But I can't quit

And I'm so confused
About what to do
Sometimes I want
To throw it all away

Controlling everything in site
I'm feeling weak
I don't feel right
You're telling me
I have to change
Telling me to act my age
But if all that I can do
Is just sit and watch time go
Then I'll have to say good-bye
Life's too short to watch it fly
To watch it fly

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

And here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman


2. MY HEAD

Where are you now
I want to talk to you
I'm sitting here alone
Waiting by the phone

Where are you now
I want to talk to you
If only you were home
I wouldn't be alone
I wait for you

Where are you now
Are you just toying with me
Do you need me to play
All your high school games

Where are you now
I guess I'll try once more
I don't have much to say
But it's the tenth call that I made
And it's ringing in my head
Yeah the last thing that
You said now

I ask you just
What is it you've tasted
Your answer's hushed
I'm wasted, so wasted
And all the promises you made
Were the others just the same now


3. IF ONLY

If only I was taller
If I had a million dollars
Maybe then you'd be with me

If only I was eighteen
And had the courage
Of the A-Team
Maybe then you'd be with me

But for now I'll have to dream
About your smile 'cause you're not
Here and all I want to say is
That I really miss you

If I could surf a little better
If I had Sumner's sweater
Maybe then you'd be with me

If only I had more time
If I had Mike Ness' hairline
Then you'd want to be with me

If only you weren't so fine
If only I wasn't so blind
I'd find a way
To make you stay
Then maybe I'd see you

If I woke up
With all these things
Would it even change your feelings
None of that is even me
But for now I'll have to
Wait another week
To see your face and all I want to say is
That I really miss you


4. THIS LONELY PLACE

You come around
To see your boyfriend
You come around
To feel the pain
It was yesterday he tried to use you
But you still go through it

Again you took it away
Again you let yourself stay

I've been around
This lonely place
Lonely place before

You find out
He's been lying to you
You find he had another girl
Still you never
Stand up for yourself
You never stand up to him

He takes it away
Again you let yourself stay
Again you gave it to him
You said it's the last time
He does it again

I've been around
This lonely place
Lonely place before
You got a choice
To leave your place
Your lonely place behind
Be true to yourself
Now and let it go
It's better than you think


5. 20 CENT GOODBYE

Went out today
To try and phone you
I guess you didn't
Recognize my call
The lady on your end
Said you got caller I.D.
And I'm feeling sorry
That you've been
Woken up so much
And I'm feeling guilty
Just talk to me
Please talk to me

I hardly know you
Is it too late to even try
I want to know you
Another twenty cent goodbye

I found a pay phone
And it's busted
Another broken hearted fool
But still I pick up the receiver
My lips are touching
Someone's drool
Please make this worth it
You're all I'm thinking of today
I know you're worth it
Just talk to me
Please talk to me

Goodbye
Another twenty cent goodbye
Another twenty cents


6. QUESTION

You got some question about your life
You don't know how you'll ever make it through
It hurts so bad but it's all you got
You're asking me for help
But all I got to say now is that
You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
So just stop your whining
You don't know what pain is

Stop complaining point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame

So pack your bags
We're going out
I want to show you
Just what's in this world
Cause in the end its all you got
Memories to tell about your life
And how you lived it

So live it good
I know it's all that you've given

You don't know what pain is
You haven't suffered one iota
So just stop your whining
You don't know what pain is
Stop complaining
Point your finger
I'll tell you who to blame


7. DISORDER

My little story's
Growing way too long
I've had to suffer
Enough to write this song
And if I get the chance
I'll tell you how it feels
Cause in this sick old head
The pain is way to real
So I fall down
I don't know
If I can make it up this time

I know I want to but it gets
Harder every time
And if it's easier
To give up everything
I'd give it all to you
To relieve half this pain

Cause it's been hard
Yeah it's been hard

I sit there at the bar
I wonder what i've done
Should I just fuck it all

Or should I
Go back home
Cause if I take that drink
I might as well just die
And if I kill myself
I'd be giving up my try


8. CARLITA

Well after today I'll never see you
And you'll be left with your life
Collecting all your souvenirs
I'll never get it right

Empty man hollow man
I call myself a hermit
My self esteem contingent on
The way you look at me

I'm hanging on your words
Yeah I'm reading
All your thoughts
If only I could be you now
Cause you got the control

Empty man lonely man
I call myself depressed
I'm finding ways to avoid you
At the expense of sanity
I'm hanging on your words
And I'd like to share a thought
I know I can't be you now
But I'd like to stay a while


9. TOO LATE

The young boy has
Turned into a man
And he's growing stronger
He's battled through things
He thought he could
Go on no longer
Father stood by his side
Wanting nothing more
Than just be his dad
But pride only answers
To one call
He only condemns him

And if the boy only knew
The father's pain
The nights that he
Stayed up late
Wondered why
Doesn't he see the future
Is so bleak so bleak

Father's retired now
He's left with tv and rest
The weight of the world
And what did he do wrong
Has gone to his chest
He had such a good life
The family he loved
Were all by his side
To his son he whispered
Goddamn this pride

So fuck I'm all by myself
Now you've gone away
You've left me
All by myself
With that fucked up
Thing you said
If I could forgive myself
You knew the way
Now I'm all by myself
And I'm sorry

But if you only knew
Your son's pain
How bad that he wanted
You to say
You're doing just fine
You turned out to be
One good guy
But it's too late


10. I NEED TO KNOW

I run away cause I'm
Scared that you might leave
There's nothing wrong
But that's not what I believe
Just tell me it's alright
And tell me I'm okay
And tell me that you're
Staying here tonight

I feel stupid saying
Words you've heard before
The way I feel today
Is all I know for sure
And if I scare you
I'm only scaring me
I've got so much to say
Why won't you speak with me
I need to know

What you're feeling
Do you feel like I do
Let's talk about everything
I want to share my life with you
And tell me that you feel
The way I feel with you
And tell me that
You love me like I do

You're in my life
Well I want to be sure
I'm not wasting time
I've been through this before


11. AUTHORITY

So you're just barely getting by
Not hurting no one
Sometimes you think that you're alright
Sometimes you have fun
But on the way someone confronts you
And tries to shut you up
You're having trouble at your home
You want to get out
But you've got nowhere else to go
You gotta get out

But on the way someone confronts you and
Tries to tell you that

You're going nowhere with your life !
Whoah
You better listen to what's right !
Whoah
But don't you see
That I can't hear you !
HEY ! HEY ! HEY !


12. S.M.P.

There's something bout the
Cold wind blowing across your face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
It's like being in bed with
The girl of your dreams
Or eating a pint of
Ben & Jerry's ice cream
Well you can kick me in the knee
With your ski or your boot
Well that's cool
On your head all root
This is something that
I will always cherish
Here to state the fact that
Skiers Must Perish


13. THE LAST TIME

Living life and freedom
Wondering if my love
Could be as one
And if that you could
Possibly love me
Thinking life
And living life
Are two very different things
The first one being harder
Than the last

Tonight's the last time
That I ever show you me

Thinking all these days are gone
And dreaming of my time with you
Just makes me wish
That I was with you now

Driving the ninety
I'm thinking of you
If I could turn back time
I'd look you in the eye
Then I might see your lies


14. CHRIS CAYTON

You taught me how to play guitar
You told me that I'd go
Far just by trying
Yeah just by trying
When we were kids
Playing Social D
Spiritual man on LSD
We were frying
Yeah we were frying

Once in a while you'd fuck with me
No ground on my bass and it shocked me

Chris Cayton I called you satan
Cuz when we were skating
You would make the metal sign

You got kicked out of school for wearing profanity
'Too drunk to fuck' said the Dead Kennedys
On your button your punk rock button
You were born in S.I.T.
Vegetarian man no BLT on your muffin
No turkey stuffing

Once and a while I'd surf with you
Our first band was called IMRU
