I got to find a better coping mechanism I'm falling apart, disintegrating in the schism Is it a show or is it realism? Lost and found, and then I was locked up in a prison I better find a more suitable solution Before I reach the most predictable conclusion To be a victim of my personal delusion Just to find that I've been living an illusion They say there's just no substitute for the real thing The kind of chemical that'll make your whole body sing You can take the needle, shove it in your vein And call it medication to alleviate your pain I do my best to keep the confusion to a minimum I'll try not to be the monster of the millennium Someday they'll thank us for the hell that we was givin' 'em When all of this time, we just hope we were borderline offendin' 'em They say there's just no substitute for the real thing The kind of chemical that'll make your whole body sing Scrub it 'til you're bleedin', but you can't scrub out the stain Leave your mouth wide open while you're drowning in the rain Put your head down, wipe the spit out your eye Ain't nobody coming to your poor me parade When trouble knock on the door, what you ignoring it for? You'll be standing there helpless when it comes on in Say there's just no substitute for the real thing The kind of chemical that'll make your whole body sing You can test your merit, can show it some restraint But in the end, you're just a predictable refrain Oh, ain't nothing like the real thing The kind of chemical that'll make your whole body sing You can test your merit, can show it some restraint But in the end, you're just a predictable refrain Poison in your brain ('cause your heart has been mislain) You're gonna die just the same (for a dream you could not attain) You drove yourself insane (and there's nobody left to blame) You carry on and complain 'Til you forget your name

She was a live wire She was stuck in the past I was holdin' the middle You was waking up fast It was 4 in the morning She's holding on tight To her David Bowie look-a-like, Circa '85 Now he's turning up his amplifier Staring at his toes Even when he's looking at you He's still looking down his nose Sounds like surf music maybe more than just a little To me, it's just another form of California dribble Hold the top and bottom straight And keep it shaky in the middle Well there's something to be learned here, Though it may seem a little insincere Like a cruel clown grinnin' ear to ear You're a country singer I'm a cavalier Well, I wanna know the whole story over Where you came from, where you're going However long it takes to know you With your heavy metal heart beat Salty but she seems sweet Tippy toes of both feet, rocking to the teen beat Well, ice cream, soda pop, bourbon on top Some people call it rock and roll Some people call it pop Sounds like country music every time you use a fiddle How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle Keep it tight around the edges Leave a little room to wiggle Well there's something to be learned here Though it may seem a little insincere Like a cruel clown grinnin' ear to ear You're a country singer I'm a cavalier Oh, oh whoa oh Oh, oh whoa oh Oh, oh whoa oh Oh, oh, oh whoa Oh, oh whoa oh Oh, oh whoa, oh Oh, oh, oh Well, there's something to be learned here Though it may seem a little insincere Like a cruel clown grinnin' ear to ear You're a psycho killer I'm a cavalier

It's late Too late to run Besides, this night ain't the one You could say I turned my eyes blind You could say I'm the desperate kind I've been watching the line But nothing's passin' by I've been keeping the time Like by it I live and die 'Cause at the end of the road There is just one way to know Drive Drive Portrait made but Overblown The curtain pulled was crooked stone Leave me to lie in my fruitless dreams It's not as simple as it seems I've been watching the line But nothing's passin' by I've been keeping the time Like by it I live and die 'Cause at the end of the road There is just one way to know Drive Drive Drive Drive I've been watching the line But nothing's passin' by I've been keeping the time Like by it I live and die 'Cause at the end of the road There is just one way to know Drive Drive Drive Drive Drive It's too late, too late, too late to run Drive And I'm the desperate one Drive...

Drivin' in my car I turn on the radio I'm pullin' you close You just say no You say you don't like it But, girl, I know you're a liar 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Late at night I'm takin' you home I say I wanna stay You say you wanna be alone You say you don't love me But you can't hide your desire 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Fire You had a hold on me right from the start A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart Nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool Your kisses, they burn But your heart stays cool Romeo and Juliet Samson and Deliliah You can bet, their love, they didn't deny Your words say split But your words, they lie 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Oh, fire You had a hold on me right from the start A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart Nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool Well, your kisses, they burn But your heart stays cool Romeo and Juliet Samson and Deliliah You can bet, their love, they couldn't deny Your words say split But your words, they lie 'Cause when we kiss Oh, fire Fire Fire Oh, fire Oh, fiiiire

I'm a silver screen I'm a weird machine Don't you worry 'bout me ('Bout me) Back in nowhere town, I was not allowed To be where I wanna be So winter to spring I opened my wings I learned to surf the breeze Took a while but now I'm free Give me gasoline I'm a weird machine Turning gears into a dream We got that smooth motor Strong shoulders, ooh You better come closer we'll knock shit over, ooh They can try to shut us down But we will turn that switch back on We're not here to fuck around My future's our phenomenon (They can try to shut us down) (Turn that switch back on) (We're not here to fuck around) (Our phenomenon) I'm a silver screen I'm a weird machine Don't you worry 'bout me, aah Buzzing energy Shaky circuitry Still it's working for me We got that smooth motor Strong shoulders, ooh You better come closer, we'll knock shit over, ooh They can try to shut us down But we will turn that switch back on We're not here to fuck around My future's our phenomenon (They can try to shut us down) (Turn that switch back on) (We're not here to fuck around) (Our phenomenon)
