a late april day and it's sunny outside
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
and an an orange old man at the bottom
wants to take her for a ride
as she slips and she tumbles the orange man mumbles
pennies crash down from the sky
and he tells her he'll take her away where it's safe
and of course it is a lie
she's a third the down and her skirts are yanked up
and her little girl cheeks start to wrinkle
but her smile is wide and her legs are spread wider
her hair growing long and her hips getting larger
past getting brighter
light growing weaker....
she is halfway down now but the man is impatient
shakes change in his pocket he might have to wait but she's coming...
she's coming...

who are you blaming?
they're just playing!
that's a good one...
who left the playground
a good decade before the bell rang?

as she starts to draw nearer the view becomes clearer
the splinters are painful but she doesn't feel it
the pennies were loaded and as they exploded
she starts to spin out of control...
her eyes are now closing her sleeves are unrolling
up past her head and her veins are all showing
not that she noticed she's thoroughly focused on
one old man who's laughing...
who's laughing....
dont' worry
i've got you
don't worry
i've got you

the orangeman got you.....

I skipped the part of the storyline with interesting characters and dialog
And sat alone to contemplate the place of cigarettes and rock and roll fashion

And its times like these at 32 degrees cabin fever silly day dreams
That slap me in the face and lock me in this place living out my adversity

And here in this world, I could find you in the corners of my head
And if I try, I could change the outcome, changing what I said

I skimmed right through never knowing
Who was good or bad or sad or glad although
I had the time to waste in all the familiar places

And here in this world, I could find you in the corners of my head
And if I try, I could change the outcome, changing what I said

But in this perfect world where nothing's perfect, I'm all alone.
But in this perfect world where nothing's perfect, I'm all alone.

All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all we really were doing
Was waiting for love

Only to be alone
Only to be alone

Its real love, its real, yes its real love, its real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Only to be afraid
Only to be afraid

Its real love, its real, yes its real love, its real

Though Ive been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Only to be alone
Only to be alone

Its real love, its real, its real love, its real
Yes its real love, its real, its real love, its real,
Yes its real love, its real, its real love, its real,
Yes its real love, its real, its real love, its real,
Yes its real love, its real

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
cause I cant take anymore of this,
I want to come apart,
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide
cause I talk to you like children,
Though I dont know how I feel
But I know Ill do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you
I said I liked your shoes
You said, "Thanks, can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs and out of view
No prying eyes
I poured some wine
I asked your name, you asked the time

Now it's two o'clock
The club is closed
We're up the block
Your hands on me; Pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out
You didn't care to know who else may have been here before

I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet him here but I'm not sure
I've got the money if you've got the time
You said it feels good
I said, "I'll give a try."

Then my mind went dark
We both forgot where your car was parked
Let's just take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning

Bad actors with bad habits
Some sad singers they just play tragic
And the phone's ringing and the van's leaving
Let's just keep touching; let's just keep... keep singing...

I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorise
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind

But you, but you...

You write such pretty words
But life's no storybook
Love's an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt.
Do you like to hurt?
I do, I do

Then hurt me... [x10]

i never felt like this with anyone before
you only have to smile and i'm dizzy
you make the world go round
a thousand times an hour
just touch my head
and send me spinning

i never felt like this with anyone before
you show me colours and i'm crying
you hold my eyes in yours
and open up the world
i can't believe all this

i want to keep this feeling
deep inside of me
i want you always in my heart
you are everything

i never felt like this with anyone before
you fill my head all full of rainbows
and all the rainbows is
is every step you take
is to be with you forever

i want to keep this feeling
deep inside of me
i want you always in my heart
you are everything

If I am lost for a day; try and find me
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me
All of the things that I thought were so easy
just got harder and harder each day
December is the darkest and June is the light but this empty bedroom won't make anything right
While out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
Who waits up for me all through the night
Calendar girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
Calendar Girl whos in love with the world Stay alive
I dreamed I was dying; as I so often do
And when I awoke I was sure it was true
I ran to the window; threw my head to the sky
And said whoever is up there,please don't let me die
But I can't live forever,I can't always breath
One day I'll be sand on a beach by a sea
The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross
And I'll laugh about all that we've lost
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world
Stay Alive
Calendar Girl who is lost to the world Stay Alive
January,February,March,April,May I'm alive
June,July,August,September,October I'm alive
November,December,yah all through the winter, I'm alive
I'm alive
