lyrics from our new studio album - "cartoon graveyard"
supergirl
look up in the sky, it’s a
bird, it’s a plane, it’s, it’s, it’s
I’m her superman
I could never be ‘cause
I’m not made of
steel,
when she sees me all just
flying free
she thinks that I could be
her superman
she’s almost perfect in
every little way
yeah, almost perfect, it
makes it hard to say
that almost perfect means
she might be a super girl,
but she’s not my lois
lane
I’m not invincible
though it would be so cool
to
taste the pleasure and
never face the pain
I wish that she could see
I am her fruitless tree
but she thinks I could be
her superman
she’s almost perfect in
every way
yeah, almost perfect, it
makes it hard to say
that almost perfect means
she might be a super girl,
but she’s not my lois
lane
she’s almost perfect,
but I’ll never be
the one she dreamed up in
her fantasy
to someone on the outside
it’s plain to see that
she’d be better off without
me
so I’ll let her go and set
her free
to be all that’s gotta be
it’s hard enough to be
yourself, I’m just being me
I know, I know, I know it
when push it comes down to
shove it
life marches on and never
comes back again, I know
she’s almost perfect in
every way
yeah, almost perfect, is
why it’s hard to say
that almost perfect means
she might be a super girl,
but she’s not my lois lane
I’m not super man
She’s not my
lois lane
I’m not super man
She’s not
my lois lane
I’m not super man
She’s not my
lois lane
I’m not super man
whatever (newport bridges)
come take a walk with me
we’ll go on down, down by
the sea
when we walk the things
that we might say
probably won’t even matter
on the next day

hand
and walk with me across the
land tonight
or whatever, yeah

land tonight
or whatever, yeah
when I see you smile, my
heart is thumpin’ and I
realize I’ve been staring
much too long at you
and in my mind
I can see us sharing
all of time
and then my heart skips a
beat
in a roundabout way, I’m
just the same as you
that’s how I’m able to
anticipate you
at times I know you know
before you do
sometimes it feels like I’m
on e with you
girl, well
burn, burn, the bridges
down with me

the sea
when we walk the things

land tonight
or whatever, yeah
burn, burn, the bridges
down with me
we’ll take a walk down by

little man
(senor pequito y villa la grande)
I stand alone
I walk with many, cross
miles and miles
and of all I see, right
here in front of me
I still can’t help but
smile
be a little man, in a big
city
I whisper, no one sees or
hears me
stranger in a strange land
I just wanna be a little
man
deep in thought, this
midnight drive
leaving the city of sin
city of darkness, oh how
I’ll drive
I’ll always come back again
be a little man, in a big
city
I whisper, no one sees or
hears me
stranger in a strange land
I just wanna be a little
man
I find the time, to find
myself, when I’m feeling low
time and time, I’ll slip
right by
no worry for the cost
be a little man, in a big
city
I whisper, no one sees or
hears me
stranger in a strange land
I just wanna be a little
man
I can’t deal people looking
at me, nameless face in a crowd, that’s what I long to be
I can’t deal people looking
at me, nameless face in a crowd, that’s what I wanna be
why won’t you set me free
my friend
why such a fool when you
pretend so
I to you my hand can
lend
be a little man, in a big
city, and whisper (olay)
little sister
little sister, I hear you
cry and
little sister, I
wonder why,
but I can see you’re busy
making the same mistakes as me
I see, I see,
little sister, I’m here for
you and
little sister, I’ll see you
through
give you the wings
you need,
you need to fly so far
away, please stay, please stay
life changes rearranges us
all, yeah, yeah

all, yeah, yeah
little sister, you know
it’s true, when I say
little sister, yea I love
you
‘cause of the things you
do, you do by accident, livin’ day to day
don’t stray, when I say
little sister, I’ll care
for you and
little sister, I’ll see you
through your darkest fearful hour until the light of day
‘til you say, get away, get
away, get away, hey
life changes rearranges us
all, yeah, yeah

all, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, say no more
little sister, I hear you
cry and
little sister, I wonder
why,
but I know, I know, and so
I’ll set you free
pebble
I can’t believe any thing
you say
‘cause these days go by and
it seems so strange
behind the lines, it’s now
very clear
the truth is far when you
are near and
talk about discovery, and
the truth and all it meant to me, oh, oh
I will show you the way
I, I believe in you
and you believe in
me,
but unless you tell the
truth
the truth will never be,
hey
I can’t believe any thing
you say
‘cause these days go by and
it seems so strange
behind the lines, it’s now
very clear
the truth is far when you
are near and
talk about discovery, and
the truth and all it meant to me, oh, oh
I will show you the way
do I, have to explain
myself
do I, have to control you
oh, to compare you to
another thing
a beautiful pebble in my
shoe
I can’t believe any thing
you say
‘cause these days go by and
it seems so strange
behind the lines, it’s now
very clear
the truth is far when you
are near and
talk about discovery, and
the truth and all it meant to me, oh, oh
I will show you the way
I, I was meant for you
and you were meant for me
but unless I can trust you
we will never be
I can’t believe any thing
you say
‘cause these days go by and
it seems so strange
behind the lines, it’s now
very clear
the truth is far when you
are near and
talk about discovery, and
the truth and all it meant to me, oh, oh
I will show you the way
do I, have to explain
myself
do I, have to control you
oh, to compare you to
another thing
a beautiful pebble in my
shoe
a beautiful pebble in my
shoe
a beautiful pebble in my
shoe
a beautiful pebble in my
shoe
everything and the
world
kickin’ back now with my
friends, I said we’re passin’ time
we took a hit of somethin’
then we drank some wine
just sitting back now,
drink to our health
everybody’s feelin’ groovy
I drink to myself and say
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
in a world of
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
now I know
thirty-six now sleepless
hours
yea, there’s something on
my mind
I hope when I wake tomorrow
it’ll all be fine
now I’ll sleep, and I will
dream away
all of the worst things
that ever happened to me
then I’ll say
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
in a world of
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
now I know
dreams get crushed people
die
we’re filled with laughter
sometimes we cry
but in the end it turns
out, or so we’ll find
the way it is no matter how
hard we try
‘cause the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
in a world of
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
now you know, now you know,
now you know, yeaaaah
I live alone, I have no
name
the neighbors watch, they
listen, they don’t complain
and even if you think I’m
completely insane
just listen to this one
thing that I’m saying
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
the world has
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
in a world of
nothing
yeah the world has
everything
thru
jimmy’s in the window
callin’ to me
I sit beneath omi and my
old lovin’ tree
to give her the world
if she’ll give it back to
me
or just pretend
so I’ll, smoke another
cigarette
laugh at the day
I missed you
though you hadn’t even ever
never gone away
so into the chorus there’s
just one more thing
said I gotta get up, gotta
get up, gotta get up and
dance and sing
‘cause I love myself
and I’m in love with you
but even as I said it, I
knew that we were thru
so I’m laughing in the
mirror
and he’s laughing back at
me
even if you were someone
else
you’re exactly who I’d be
months pass day by day
each day the pain it
lingers but slowly it goes away
when I’m back to myself
again
I see you’re knocking at my
door
is this some game
you’re playing,
or are you really back for
more
‘cause I love myself
and I’m in love with you
but even as I say it, I
knew that we were thru
so I’m laughing in the
mirror
just laughing at myself
if you and I were different
you’d be somebody else’s
circle spinning, ending
beginning
there’s no ending to
beginning
just some losin’ and some
winnin’
in a fairy tale life of
who’s wrong and who’s right
with a chill be gone
tomorrow like a thief in the night
jimmy’s in the window
callin’ to me
I sit beneath omi and my
old lovin’ tree
to give her the world
if she’ll give it back to
me
or pretend, she gotta
pretend,
I gotta pretend, I gotta
pretend
‘cause I love myself
I’m in love with you
but even as I say it, I
knew that we we’re thru
and I wish it could be
different
and there was something
left to say
but you and I both know it,
and it’s gotta be that way
because I love myself
the brew
lyin in my bed again, would
life just past me by
I’m drunk again, and lord
knows that I’m high
on life and other
things, no matter what life brings
or maybe it’s just the brew
talking from me 2 you
so I’m just a stupid
asshole
just waiting for a hassle
and I’m standin’ at the
show
just waiting for a fuse to
blow or a gasket
then I’ll put you in a
casket
or maybe it’s just the brew
talkin’ from me talkin’ to
you… yea
drive fast, take your
chances
spend your days looking for
one night romances
most people say
some people do
or maybe that’s just
something
in me talking back to you
maybe it’s just the brew
maybe I just need to,
adjust my attitude
I’m always actin’ crazy
some bitches say I’m rude
I keep it all bottled up
deep inside of me
I let it out just to be
ok, maybe I’m an asshole
but I didn’t really want a
hassle
so I’m standin at the show
when suddenly just grabs a
hold of me
before my eyes can see
they’re pickin’ my ass off
the floor
the bouncer throws me out
the door
and says…
drive fast, take your
chances
spend your days looking for
one night romances
most people say
some people do
or maybe that’s just
something
in me talking back to you
drive fast, take your
chances
spend your days looking for
one night romances
most people say
some people do
or maybe that’s just
something
in me talking back to you
maybe it’s me, maybe it’s
you
maybe it’s just the brew
or maybe something deep
inside of me
rises up to scream hey fuck
you
while I go to bed at night
I’ll say a little prayer
for you
maybe it’s just the booze
omi
omi my love
I could never get enough
of omi, won’t you come on
out and play
you are my sunshine, on the
darkest day
oh omi, I just wish you’d
stay
can’t remember when I’ve
been so happy
I swear I never felt this
way
don’t even remember the bad
times,
I never will,
the day divides us but life
reminds us,
love shows us the way
omi my love
I could never get enough
of omi, won’t you come on
out and play
you are the moonlight
that guides my way through
the night
oh omi, one day will make
it right
can’t remember when I’ve
been so happy
to wear this smile upon my
face
even though it hides that
pain that I feel inside
life reminds us if its love
that binds us,
you’ll be back someday
I am so broken hearted, I
wish this never started
I take that back I’d do it
all it again
you need your space so take
it
our love it bends won’t
break it
in time I want you
back to do it all again
omi my love I could never
get enough
of omi won’t you come on
out and play
omi, your love has
set me free
darlin’ omi
please come back to me
part of the game
twisted and tired, I am
broken abused
and here we go again,
another part of the game
oh there were times when
I’d wander my love
but you knew you had me, I
thought I had you
so I’m naked once again in
the arms of another lover
twisting and swimming on
these pools of our love
we linger once more before
we say goodbye
we say goodnight, close my
eyes and remember
you knew you had me I
thought I had you
twisted and tired, I am
broken abused
and I never want to play
this part of the game
oh there were times I’d
wonder and my love oh would it wander
but you knew you had me, I
thought I had you
happy
I wake from the dream where
it feels like I’m falling
from the heavens clear blue
sky
where’d I land this
time, I dreamed a dream and I
open my eyes only to find
that I wanna be happy
and I wanna be great
and I wanna enjoy, but I
don’t wanna wait
but I gotta wanna
work hard
I get to play hard too
and I’m doin’ it for me now
while I’m playin’ it for
you
out all night and I sleep
all day, and I wake up in the afternoon
not really sure the day I’m
in
sometimes the sun’s my moon
all I can say is I’m not
concerned for the fair state I’m in
ask me why I do these
things that I do where do I begin
I’m goin crazy just thinkin’
‘bout when this ship is sinkin’
will my choices make more
sense than they do now
will I grow old, you can’t
stay young
you can’t change the things
that you’ve done
life goes on, don’t you
know
so it seems to me
that I’m gonna be happy
and I’m gonna be great
and I’m gonna enjoy, but
I’m not gonna wait
but I gotta wanna
work hard
I get to play hard too
and I’m doin’ it for me now
while I’m playin’ it for
you
out all night and I sleep
all day, and I wake up in the afternoon
not really sure the day I’m
in
sometimes the sun’s my moon
all I can say is I’m not
concerned for the fair state I’m in
ask me why I do these
things that I do where do I begin
I gotta be happy
and I gotta be great
and I gotta enjoy, but I
don’t gotta gotta wait
but I gotta wanna
work hard
I get to play hard too
and I’m doin’ it for me now
while I’m playin’ it for
you
