Pusher 02:23
lyrics
What’ll it be? High? Low? What’ll it be? Have a little bit What’ll it be? High? Low? What’ll it be? Have a little bit What you talking about? What are you saying? Who? I got stopped on the sidewalk He showed me his pockets Told me to buy some Then I could try it When I said no He told me to go I came back the next day I bought from the pusher It really made me smile I got stopped on the sidewalk He showed me his pockets Told me to buy some Then I could try it When I said no He told me to go And when I looked back He stopped someone else Are you high?

Today My Way 03:20
lyrics
Well, it was just today I thought it couldn’t get worse It would be okay But then it started to rain Again And I said maybe I Just better go inside And get myself all dry And sleep my life away Let dreams of yesterday come my way I’m not waking up so forget about me These dreams of yesterday are here to stay I don’t give a damn about reality So, when my problems leave me I know I’ll wake up easy But that day won’t be coming Today Well, I know That life’s not easy And my troubles won’t leave me I wish they would though In droves But I know I’m being overdriven And I live to keep giving Let’s take it slow So, when my problems leave me I know I’ll wake up easy But that day won’t be coming Let dreams of yesterday come my way I’m not waking up so forget about me These dreams of yesterday are here to stay I don’t give a damn about reality I dream of yesterday I dream of yesterday We dream of yesterday Yeah

Explode! 02:30
lyrics
Gotta hide inside It works so well If no one did it Life would be hell Is it just me Or is it crazy To let it pass And just say “maybe”? Go I feel a bit Feel a bit low Get ready, get set, explode I’m ready to Ready to go Get ready, get set, explode Explode I feel a bit Feel a bit low Get ready, get set, explode I’m ready to Ready to go Get ready, get set, explode Make me angry Tell me something I despise Make it shocking You know I really hate Surprises Surprises Voice your virtue Tell me how to act Right now Make me love you For something I don’t care About

Gloomjoy 03:04
lyrics
Gloomjoy was a guy I knew in high school He liked to see other people suffer Gloomjoy would waste his Sunday afternoons Eating jerky in front of the TV And watching all the bad news They came and took him away To ask him what he did They thought he murdered a kid Gloomjoy had no alibi He explained his side And let out a cry I’m a Gloomjoy guy With a Gloomjoy mind Besides, there’s so much I have Locked up inside Inside, there’s a gloomy dream In a gloom-boy teen machine So, you see, that’s why I watched the scene And did nothing That day, they let him slide He spent some time outside To see what he could find Gloomjoy would waste his Friday afternoon Getting a high by watching a homicide And getting out of sight Next day, they took him away A witness at the scene Beheld his bloody jeans Gloomjoy had no alibi He explained his side And let out a cry I’m a Gloomjoy guy With a Gloomjoy mind Besides, there’s so much I have Locked up inside Inside, there’s a gloomy dream In a gloom-boy teen machine So, you see, that’s why I watched the scene And did everything

Precious Wonderland 03:45
lyrics
You sit there hopeless Eating breakfast from a can Wishing you could understand How to get a start on all your plans And you think that solitude Will help you figure out What your life is all about As you gaze out from your precious Wonderland You got lost in the dining room Is there something I can do? Is there something I can do for you? You’re lying in your birthday suit With your feet against the wall As if doing nothing gives you all the fire To get on your feet I beat you silly Crushed your dreams with Bally boots Did the things you’d never do All because you thought you couldn’t pull through You sit there hopeless Eating breakfast from a can Wishing you could understand How to get a start on all your plans And you think that solitude Will help you figure out What your life is all about As you gaze out from your precious Wonderland You’re living in a rabbit hole Where it’s always Sunday night And tomorrow never feels right You think it’s all impossible And crawl back into bed Didn’t Alice wake up when the Queen said “Off with her head”? I beat you silly Crushed your dreams with Bally boots Did the things you’d never do All because you thought you couldn’t pull through You sit there hopeless Eating breakfast from a can Wishing you could understand How to get a start on all your plans And you think that solitude Will help you figure out What your life is all about As you gaze out from your precious Wonderland Wonderland Wonderland Now what would you need For you to see clearly? I beat you silly Crushed your dreams with Bally boots Did the things you’d never do All because you thought you couldn’t pull through You sit there hopeless Eating breakfast from a can Wishing you could understand How to get a start on all your plans And you think that solitude Will help you figure out What your life is all about As you gaze out from your precious Wonderland
