Smash Mouth

Paintings of dogs playing pool
Smokin' cigarattes they drink 'til they drool
Well we ain't so dumb, just numb
And tomorrow's another year
Could you tell us what happened 'cause we weren't here
We've been hitchin' a ride with a big fake rubber thumb

Chorus
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight

The ticker tape wants us to fail
And the limousine just drives us to jail
And the concierge can't tell us where the ladies dance
But you are my friend in miles
Radio waves, stations, and dials, and smiles
Cities and towns, slow down

Chorus
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight

Instrumental (haunting)

Chorus
And you're a star now, blinkin' bright
And you drive so fast now, out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight
Out of sight

Chorus
Sister psychic won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
We were there at the start we've got polaroids to prove it
Skateboards and scars and embarrassing home movies
But if you really wanna see where it's all goin'
Switch on your tv she's all tellin', all knowin'
She knows everything

Chorus
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Can you help us find the ones on the missing posters
Is my baby being true, am i doin' what i'm supposed to
Could you help me find my keys or better yet life's meaning
Are those tarot or dialogue cards that you're reading
C'mon
Tell me everything

Chorus
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Instrumental

Sister, why would i tell you my deepest, dark secrets
So you could take my diary and rip it all to pieces
Just $6.95 for the very fist minute
I think you've won the lottery that's my prediction
You know everything

Chorus
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me
Sister psychic, won't you tell me does it ever get better
Can you really see the future or just predict the weather
Are we in our finest hour or headed for disaster
Use your super powers and rescue me

Government test climate best
If you're looking for no rest
And at midnight you can grab your keys
And slip into your bulletproof dress
Television comes to life
And it works the street tonight
Siren's the song and it's remixed long
Into the broad daylight
Sleeping with the only one you can't out run
Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow i'm blinded

Chorus
Seein' only what i wanna see
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's gone

Well i'm just another creep
In that town that never sleeps
Met the one i adore at a liquor store
And she gave up counting sheep
And she explained to me
What "waitress" really means
That most ignore what she's waiting for
While earning an honest keep
She's acting out tinsel town's most-hated scene

Gotta run before the sun catches up to me
Days they go too slow i'm blinded
Seein' only what i wanna see

Chorus
In this enchanted land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Disenchanted in this land of a thousand chances
You only get just one and it's
Gone

Back in the day everything seemed to be ok
But ok is just ok
And just alright makes you think
What could be on the other side
Runnin' with the big dogs
Left those puppies on the porch
Scratchin' fleas is the least in the real world
If i knew then what i know now
Just alright would be ok somehow
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Could you keep it down

Had it made had it played itself out
In a sit-com style
So the landlord has his key in my door
I'll have amnesia for a while
I've seen ridiculous sunsets in a sickening sky
It made me feel really ill in a beautiful way
I've seen perfect people and i shield my eyes
I don't deserve to see their shame
Shhhhh

Keep it down now
Just keep it down now
I can't hear myself think
Who needs to think

Awesome electronica track

I know i know i know..........

Awesome electronica track
Shhhhh

I don't know why i'm with you
The only right thing i do is get along with you
And days go bye-bye for you but they fly by for me
It's true
I talked to you late last night
You said it wasn't all right but it would be all right
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone i'm with you
Oohweooh

Chorus
But you weren't listening when i told you everything
That you need i ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

I play guitar all night long
And i know hundreds of songs and i'll just play them all
And even when i get home somehow you're still alone
It's true
I don't know why you're with me
The only reason i see some sort of fetish thing
Some people like to be pleased and
Some like to be teased
Which are you

I tried to warn you but you said just play dead
As long as we stay
True

Chorus
But you weren't listening when i told you everything
That you need i ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not
But you're not

Instrumental (bells)

Bridge
Did your head not receive the shape of everything
That you are and i am
I shouldn't be happy as your man

You know that i am

I play guitar all night long
And i know hundreds of songs and i'll just play them all
And when you sleep by yourself
You're not alone i'm with you
As long as we stay true--whoowoowhoowoo whoowhoowhoo--

Chorus

--you weren't listening when i told you everything
That you need i ain't got
You should be gone by now but you're not

But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not

Well i go where they go
And i know who i wanna know
We are the "in set"
And they don't trip if you're hip
At the velvet rope off the strip
We are the "in set"
Call me cruel and unkind
But i'm cool and refined
Like a robot

Chorus
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Well the pond may be big
But it ain't deep if you dig
On the inset
Little fish swim away
I suggest you go and play
On the swing set

And i was a junkie way before it was cool
With that i'll leave you

Chorus
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Instrumental

We're just drivin' this jalopy 'til it grinds to a halt
And that's our mission
A hollywood tradition

Chorus
If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret
This is our big show

If you're not down with us
You're down below
Where have you been
Who do you know
It's no secret this is our big show
And we will never let you down
Never, ever, ever

Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets
Well what you're lookin' at is heaven-sent

Chorus
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things wouldn't you say
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clockin' in for the day
And our only care is what to wear

Chorus
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

Bridge
I got a job but i've got a problem
'cause i eat too much and i can't afford to solve it
When i'm savin' up for that cruise to the caymans
And i'm hittin' the snooze so i can keep on dreamin'

Instrumental

I'm just tryin' to realize
I'm just dyin' to open my eyes
I'm just lookin' for paradise in my living room

Chorus
Every day is a getaway when all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head
