King For A Day - Fool For Life

I can wait to love in heaven
I can wait for you
Far away, i'll treat you better
Better than down here
Cuz i done wrong
And i'm a little afraid
I ain't to strong
And this ain't easy to say:
Take this bottle
Take this bottle
And just walk away-the both of you
And let me feel the pain-i've done to you
I can hope we'll be together
With a better roof over our heads
I can hope the stormy weather
It passes on-it passes on-
But i've hoped too long
Hoped for me to change
That hope is gone
So listen to what i say:
Take this bottle

It is not a good day, if you are not looking good
This is the best party that i've ever been to
Today i asked for a god to pour some wine
In my eyes
Today i asked for someone to shake some
Salt on my life
Look!
Everything's spinning
(we're on the ground)
Never cheer before you know who's winning
(don't make a sound)
Sniff the glass and let it roll around on you tongue
Let me introduce you to someone before the party is done
Someone to look to in need or in want or in war
If you give him everything, he may give you even more
This is the best party i've ever been to
Don't let me die with that silly look in my eyes

All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"and it's okay to laugh about it"
I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don't catch my breath to the end of teh day
And i'd rather be shot in the face
Then hear what you're going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
-and who'll be laughing then?-
You'll come up empty again
No reasons-no explainations-so play the violins
It's always funny until somone gets hurt...
And then it's just hilarious!
You beat me every time you blink
If only i did not have to think
Think about you crackin' a smile
Think about you all the while
On the ricochet - it's going to hit you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me - when it misses you

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, i am just a man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
And every night i shut my eyes
So i don't have to see the light
Shining so bright
I'll dream about a cloudy sky,
A cloudy sky
I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy
"man was born to love-
Though often he has sought
Like icarus, to fly too high-
And far too lonely than he ought
To kiss the sun of east and west
And hold the world at his behest-
To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed-
But me, i am just a man"
And every night i shut my eyes
So i don't have to see the light
Shining so bright
I'll dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky
And every night i shut my eyes
But now i've got them open wide
You've fallen into my hands
And now you're burning me
You're burning me

It's cold and it's
Smooth and it's
A hard shade of white
And everybody needs to lick the surface clean
But it never tastes better
White blooms to white and
Freezes white again
Close it before something crawls in
Commit it, leave it, get away-
We always
Drop our good side
Being good gets you stuff
Being stuff gets you good
Good stuff gets you being
And wheelin' and dealin' and squealin'
Shit lives forever
They have no legs, but chase us anyway
Wipe the shadow of your best friend
Gave birth to something we don't want to be
We drop our good side
You can't kill it
Eat is just as deep as you can fuck it
So cough it up or go down
And there's only one thing that separates
A man...
Shit lives forever
We'll retire with a turd on our lips
Under a pair of knowing eyes
I'm gonna take a few down with me
And drop my good side
You can't kill it
Take it from our drummer, "puff"
Being good it gets you stuff

It would be wrong to ask you why
Because i know what goes inside
Is only half of what comes out
Isn't that what it's about?
To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big, black hole
Comfortable
Digging the grave, i got it made
Let something in, or throw something out?
You left the door open wide
I know you have a reason why
That knot is better left untied
I just went and undid mine
It takes some time
And the shadows so big
It takes the sun out of the day
And the feeling goes away
If you close the door
Comfortable

You did one thing wrong
You woke up.
It looked better before
More-more
And the stomach turns...
Say nothing without wasting a word
I know exactly what you meant
I know how piggy feels
He starves without missing a meal
Look in the mirror...
Don't look at me-
I'm ugly in the morning
When the headache is gone,
The sun is not.
Forgot to turn the alarm
On-on
Doesn't matter how much you think
Or the number of hairs in the sink
I did it to myself again
I know how piggy feels
He starves without missing a meal
It's getting clearer...
Don't look at me-
I'm ugly in the morning
