Finally, here is your lyrics :) - Misery - (1) Spoken: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 They say Misery Loves company We can start a company and make misery Frustrated Incorperated I know just what you need I might just have the thing I know what you'd pay To see. Put me out of my Misery I'd do it for you would ya do it for me We will always be busy Making Misery We can build a factory and make miasery We'll create the cure We made the disease Frustrated Incorperated Frustrated Incorperated I know just what you need i might just have the thing i know what you'd pay, to feel Put me out of my misery all you suicide kings and you drama queens Forever after happily Making misery Did ya satisfy your greed? Get what ya need? Was it only envy, so empty Frustrated Incorperated Frustrated Incorperated Frustrated incorperated (Put me out of my misery) Frustrated incorperated (i'd do it for you, would you do it for me) Frustrated incorperated (Forever after happily, i know just what you need) Frustrated incorperated (i might just have the thing) Frustrated incorperated (Bathed in Misery, i know just what you need) Frustrated incorperated (Put me out of my misery) - Shut Down - (2) I've been vindicated I've been loved and hated I've been pulled aside and told that life overrated No i dont believe it i just can't conceive it I can write all night But in the morning i can't read it Oh no, don't know what's the matter stuck up on a ladder Scared of coming down If i don't get what i want And there ain't enough to go around I become oblivious to the obvious Just ridiculas As i flip the pages You're a time that's ageless In between us lies A calm before the storm that rages Thought we were related Couldn't be seperated Tried to get ahead but only got decapitated I don't get what she wants (Don't know what's the matter, tired of hangin 'round) And i don't get what i need (Stuck up a ladder, scared of coming down) We become oblivious to the obvious Just dysfuntional Shut down, shut down, shut down. When i can't keep from getting down (Stuck up on a ladder, scared of coming down) I grow tired of hanging around (Don't know what's the matter, tired of hangin 'round) I become invisible Unlivable Just dysfuntional Shut Down, Shut down, Shut Down - To my own divices - (3) Should't a got so loaded damn near exploaded, Oh lord Ya know, i should have known this Whatever the prices Whatever the Crisis Oh please, don't leave me To my own divices Please Don't leave me To my own devices Oh please, Don't leave me To my own divices She was a pretty good waitress Said she waited on Elvis Said she talks to much Please don't leave me To my own divices Oh please, Don't leave me To my own divices Save it up for a rainy day it just rained Yesterday Whatever the prices whatever the crisis Oh please, dont leave me to my own divices Please don't leave me to my own divices Oh please, Don't leave me To my own divices - Hopes Up - (4) There's just no substitute for fun I've tried every single one And no one can take your place Everybody gets replaced My time has neither come nor gone It just slips out when i yawn Without hope i can't go wrong Can't go wrong Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up now Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up now It's so hard to settle down Don't recognize my home town Home is where i hang my head lost in all these things i've said been my holding my breath for so long I don't need air anymore If you never let me breath I'll never breath I'll never breath Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up now Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up now Don't know what i was hoping for I feel like feeling better than i've ever felt before My time has neither come nor gone it just slips out when i yawn holding my breath for so long For so long Don't want to be bored no more I know there's so much more Don't know what i was hoping for I feel like feeling better than i've ever felt before Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up now Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up Don't get my hopes up now - Promises Broken - (5) Streets are filled with broken glass you get buired by the past give me just a little taste lay this mess to waste Take me home My mind is racing take me home my body's aching so alone i'll make you want to stay with me befriended by the enemy One more time Every little thing about this tells me nothing out there is ever gonna help me All these words that i have spoken Just promsies Broken now Looking outside form my window sill Throw another coin in the wishing well Never find what you're looknig for 15 miles, your dim light shines from so far away Your sad smile It's all i see, when i say Every little thing about this tells me Nothing out there is ever gonna help me All these words that i have spoken just promises broken now from the hotel satalite Don't look like you're living right Here's a deal you can't refuse You ain't got as much to lose Who can you tell your troubles Someone who won't laugh at you and it's alright As i watch you walk away Hope apart of you would stay But it's alright Every little thing about this tells me Nothing out there is ever gonna help me All these words that i hear spoken Are just promises broken - Bittersweetheart - (6) Why you always wanna get the best of me? I'm like seeing eye dog and i can't even see they're naked and they're following my master who's blind And my mind's gone to pieces, i could use a piece of mind G i picked up the pieces and i made a new start Stole an old stiletto and started stabbing in the dark I can't live without out, i would certainly fall apart But it's hard to make arrangments around a bittersweetheart Bittersweet, Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart, Bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment fishin and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye beholder it's a beautiful start You always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can't live to see the morning if i stay up all night Bittersweet, Bittersweetheart, Bittersweetheart Got a short gun, got a head start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's the hardest part, Bittersweetheart Are you in there are you beating beating me up, until i'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart, Bittersweetheart Think just a drink will get you to the good part lyin in bed just wondering what to do It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure In times inside you find you always end up with a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart, Bittersweetheart It time inside you find you always end up with a bittersweetheart - String Of Pearls - (7) She Swings a string of pearls on the corner the street lights reflect, The light in the water The string, it snaps and the pearls go sailing and they splash, and bounce and roll accross the wet street As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings around the corner She darts from the eyes of the panic struck driver Who's racing to the delivery room cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb And the sack breaks out come the siamease twins Who grow up to become the first president with two heads Are better than one He puts his heads in his hands and says i've got to put my heads together I can become the best president ever And not just president Fend for yourself Signs his name, takes the blame For all of the names with no shame in their beliefs they ajourn And they leave, and in walks a man witha brook and a knife and blood on his hands and he sweeps everything under the rug and goes home to his kids and gives them a hug But his wife was not there she had just left a letter That said you'd be much better off without me Now his wife took the train to her ex-lovers funeral Who died in the bathroom hit his head on a urinal When they got together the knowledge was carnal And the widow was at the funeral And they had quite a cat fight and they fell into the hole where the casket was resting And the preacher just left in the middle of the service cause death was one thing, but women made him nervous And he ran to his car and he drove around the corner Then somthing in street caught the light in his eye he pulled over, reached down and picked a pearl from the gutter And he didn't know what to think G he brought it home and washed it in the sink and he gave the pearl to sister Mary Teresa Who could not accept it G she gave it to Lisa a young prostitute who was missing a pearl on the necklace that broke late last night - Crawl - (8) You got me going G get me outta here I should be blowing in someone else's ear I'm looknig forward on looking back Like days like today though i wish you'd would go away Stay won't you stay I'm gonna crawl Crawl home Crawl Home I never felt better just crawling home I'm gonna crawl home, Crawl alone Good to see ya, see ya later Maybe one more beer I'm gonna crawl home, Crawl home from here Some respond to pleasure Some respond to pain I'm hanging out to dry In the pouring rain Victims of temptation never can complain I could use the sensation To say i can't feel pain I'm gonne crawl Crawl Home Crawl Home I never ever said i'd never make it home It's just a stone's throw A crawl home Good to see ya, see ya later Maybe one more beer I'm just a crawl home A crawl home from here I could use someone To drag out of here I am that someone, it's all become quite clear Get me outta here I never felt better just crawling home I'm gonna crawl home Crawl alone Good to see ya, see ya later I'm outta here I'm just a crawl home just a crawl home from here - Caged Rat - (9) Why don't ya go home crawl into your hole Why don't you go home and spend time alone In the corner i looked accross the room To the other corner i knew i'd be there soon Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat Caged Rat, Caged Rat In the corner, in the corner in the corner i looked accross the room i knew i'd be there soon in the corner Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged rat Caged Rat, Caged Rat Why don't ya go home and crawl into your hole Why don't ya go home and spend some time alone From the corner I looked accross the room to the other corner i knew i'd be there soon Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged rat Rat, Caged Rat, Caged Rat, Caged rat Caged Rat, Caged rat - Eyes of a child - (10) She has 13 kids each one had 13 problems 3 uppers, 10 downers just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to each father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushin and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child and remembers how good it was And how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman By night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he worked as a clerk And he can't the doctor bills He just can't afford the pills the car's repossessed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just 5 when she turnbed her first trick and now she's 13 and it don't make her sick And she does lot's of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like pateints She'd have gone back to school if she just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a chil and none of the nightmares are nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Ya she's seen it all, and she knows they're all lies - Just like Anyone - (11) She walks into the outhouse the cold night breathes into her face The flies are standing sitll now The moon, it splills into the place And she starts wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone and like everyone, be just like anyone who wants to be so... Just like anyone, Just like anyone She reaches through the darkness her fingers touch the porcelain seat she spins and pulls her pants down the cold air holds her, like a theif And she starts wondering what they mean C they just mean to be mean? And thinking about the scene do they just want to be seen? Trying not to seem so... Just like anyone, Just like anyone The door comes screaching open she walks into the evening air she dispears in the darkness all that's left is the faint smell of her hair And she starts wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone And like everyone, be just like anyone Who just want to be so.. Just like anyone And wondering what they mean do they mean just to be mean? And thinking about the scene do they just want to be seen? trying not to seem so... Just like anyone (just like anyone) Just like anyone (just like anyone) Just like anyone Just like anyone, just like anyone just like anyone, just like anyone just like anyone, just like anyone - Tell me when - (12) She's all by herself at the end of the day She'd talk herself but wouldn't know what to say Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath the mirror laughs and splits her in half she looks around the room in her carpeted tomb Threw the floor, left keys in the door Tell me when, Tell me when Tell me when, When does life begin She got in her car and looked up at the stars And made a wish She held her breath and considered death And in the rear-view She looked back on her reflection She was a long way from where she wanted to be and a long way from perfection Tell me when, Tell me when Tell me when, Tell me when Tell me when, When does life begin She chickened out and called Triple A And told them the way After she paid, they fixed the car Got on her way and drove passed the bar Where no one bought her a drink and she always thought it was too fat and now she knows those places blow maybe it was her nose Tell me when, Tell me when Tell me when, Tell me when Tell me when, when does life begin When does life begin - Nothing to write home about - (13) Dear mother, What can i say? It's been so long since i went away Yes i miss the comforts of home but i guess i'm better off on my own No one told me people could be so cruel Nobody told me about any of this in school Still nobody understands the things that i don't understand I've nothing to write home about Nothing i have figured out Still i have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about Dear John, That ain't my name I'm just hanging around to take the blame I'm filled with guilt i'm filled with shame To much or not enough it's all the same And no one wants to talk about the loss No one wants to talk about the cause And everyone just looks away just like any other day I've Nothing to write home about nothing i have figured out Still i have the same old doubts Who can teach me how to change my ways Who will come and save the day Who will tell me what to say, When there's nothing left to say Nobody told me about any of this ins chool No one told me i've been takin for the fool and everyone just looks away and tries to make it through the day I've nothing to write home about Nothing i have figured out Still i have the same old doubts Nothing to write home about Nothing to write home about - I did my best - (14) Holed up in the dressing room without a dress Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess And i knew all about my suprise party I was spoiled and depressed And i acted suprised, and i told lots of lies Yes i did my best Stop the truck at the truck stop I need somthing to help me crash Food stamps checks and credit cards But they only accepted cash There was sweat beading on my brow My heart was beating out of my chest G i stole everything they couldn't give away Yes i did my best I did the best that i could do With all the mess that i've been through What did you expect me to do? I did my best for you I was waiting for a chain reaction With the missing link Waiting for that trickle down Forever circiling the sink I was tired of being tired I could not get no rest G i kept sleepwalking And talking in my sleep Yes i did my best And i did the best that i could do With the all mess that i've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you
