Superstar Car Wash

Why do you stare me down?
Am I wrong, should I turn and kiss the ground?
And I never felt that way
I ain't the one and you know I ain't from such a place

And I didn't get those things
Things that you can't grow
You say that it's all my fault
And I don't need to know

Tell me something I don't know
And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me
You say that it's all been said before
Now I find that there's something I don't know

And I hate your attitude
I ain't scared at all
cuz it don't matter what you do
And I'll turn around to see the truth
You're tearing it down, ya you're bringing it down
and it's all on you
Am I wrong
I don't know
And I say that
if you break enough glass
and there's no one to hear in your heart full of hate
but your mind's full of fear, let it go

so far away (3x)

He burnt down the house one night,
He had a loaded six-pack gun.
He said that Jesus Christ was just like a cop,
You know, you never know when they'll come.
She said every day above ground,
Was another dream come true.
He said I'd hang and swap clichés all night,
But I'm not in love with you.

And I never got serious,
Til everything went black.
And I ain't so curious,
That I'm ever going back.

On the lie.

He said, man, you want to be Elvis.
I said I ain't dying face down.
He said you've got to die facing up in the world,
cuz there's too many holes around.
He asked what was wrong with me,
He said I looked like a Hollywood girl.
I said that Hollywood can fall into the ocean, man,
Cuz it's the ugliest place in the whole wide world.

On the lie, he was.
On the lie, she was.
It's always a stinkin' lie

If I could walk a straight mile,
I could write it down in shorthand, I could show you.
If you want me to.
And if I had an hourglass,
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do.
But I remember, you always said it could be great.
And I knew It could be.
Well there's a way you look at things,
That no one needs to know but you.
And you shared it with me.
Like every time the leaves would fall,
You promised me that they'd be back again.
And I believed in you.

You always said it could be great.
But I had no time too waste, now it seems that I've come too far.

As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star.
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star.

Written down in hard-bound books,
The way things used to be, they ain't for me.
I'd swear they're all for you.
We said sugar, gramps said shoot,
Her mom said shit, I don't know what she'll do.
As if it's up to you.

As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star.
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star.
Your lucky star will burn ya.
Your lucky star will turn you 'round.
They're gonna turn you around

You whispered in my mouth,
And I spit you words right back.
How good do you think I'll look,
When the words start to break and crack.

You beat your head upon your wall,
You disconnect yourself from it all.
Cuz you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable,
And I want to get in so bad, and I don't know how.

Cuz your gone, and you ain't coming back.
Yeah you're gone, and you ain't coming back.

You held your hand so close,
And I just can't push you away.
I wished you could be my girl,
But you're stuck in your own world.

(repeat second)
(repeat third)

(repeat second)
(repeat third)

Yeah you're gone, and I wish you'd come back.

You need someone to hold you,
You need something that you ain't been getting.
Yeah, I could be the one,
To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing.
And you're holding on forever,
But that something just ain't true.
I'm just like you,
And I know, it's what I'd do.
Here I go.

Cuz I could stop the world, cuz I love you.
I could stop the world, and I don't want to.
I could stop the world, and I won't.
Cuz it ain't enough.

You had another bad day,
You let me know that you just can't take it.
I've given up on you,
You live in truth and I know I can't fake it.
Cuz the stars you see,
Are on a dirty sidewalk.
And they ain't for wishing new
If they don't come true.
And I know, it's what I'd do.
Here I go.

I'm not too young for the world.
And I can't change for the world.
I don't care for the world.
(in back)I don't need to stop the world.
It don't make sense, the world.

I've got no politics, no influential friend or two.
I've got ideas, but it's nothing I picked up at school.
I might be running, but I'm never running back to you.
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect your reply.
And anything you're gonna tell me, It's just another lie.

I had to wait so long, the weeks and months that passed me by.
You've got no power and my situations don't apply.
You ask me how I am, I lie and say I'm doing fine.
And with your sugar-sweetened alibis, there was a truth I never knew.
And all the attitude you gave me, It's coming back to you.

String of lies, it's always compromise with you.
String of lies, you know there's nothing left to do.
String of lies, it's been a string of lies with you.
And here's a letter from the real world, I don't expect your reply.
And anything you're gonna tell me, It's just another lie.

It's a beautiful day
I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same
You know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sight
I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like my winter chilled
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

It's a beautiful life
And I got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
When my life comes crashin down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin
And I'm doin it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life
And I got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious
