Climbing out of the sky a man who could fly and a painting anyone could play.
It's a comic book crush that taught you to trust.
Staring out of the stands at a rock n roll band
and a hero no one else could save, it was never much but it's all that you gave.
And I wonder if you wonder, or did your stars finally explode?
Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze?
I'm amazed, than I let go.
Little minds let little games burn big old dreams with little flames,
and you don't think I understand.
Little holes in parachutes won't leave you falling,
if they do, it's because you want to land.
Climbing out of his chair to fix the T.V. glare is a man
but no one knows he's there.
It's a Dramamine dream that kept them alive but lost.
She's got her plastic friends and a brand new Benz and she laughs,
"Hell, sometimes life ain't fair"
It's a comic book crush that got them nowhere.
These elevator doors are closing again you leave before I planned.
I taste you walking down the hall.
You left your perfume on the nightstand.

Plucked Lyrics By Something Corporate
(This goes out to the radio stations going out to you...)
Lucy, I've confessions
I don't think you ought to know
Lets just sit back
Forget about what's past
You see my longs are wet with age
Beyond what I can show
This is the first time
It's not the last
it's not the last
And it's been long since i've moved
Long since I've grooved on
And now my empty chorus falls on empty ears
Since I left LA days ago
The concert made me crave the shows
And times when I could be more cavalier
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
Holding onto what is right
The truth escaped me twice last night
In clouds of smoke and scattered ash
With visions of an empty hall
While wiggers crowd the shopping malls
And overzealous DJ's that ghetto blasted rap
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
hey..
(Chicka uh)
Lucy, I've confessions I dont think you want to know
let's just sit back
forget about what's past
you see there are places that we shouldn't go
and not so fast
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
don't don't don't don't
look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
Lucy, I've confessions
I don't think you ought to know
Lets just sit back
Forget about what's past
You see my longs are wet with age
Beyond what I can show
This is the first time
It's not the last
it's not the last
And it's been long since i've moved
Long since I've grooved on
And now my empty chorus falls on empty ears
Since I left LA days ago
The concert made me crave the shows
And times when I could be more cavalier
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
Holding onto what is right
The truth escaped me twice last night
In clouds of smoke and scattered ash
With visions of an empty hall
While wiggers crowd the shopping malls
And overzealous DJ's that ghetto blasted rap
Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
hey..
(Chicka uh)
Lucy, I've confessions I dont think you want to know

Don't you look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede
don't don't don't don't
look away too long
You see I've got something you might need
Don't look away too long
I said you may not believe and I just may concede

Caldecott Tunnel Lyrics By Something Corporate
They're closing down the caldecott tunnel,
so tonight I'll dream she's the bridge.
I never knew there'd be distance between us,
what I've done cannot be repeated...
And I've got scars I'm willing to show you,
you had heart that I'll never see,
she had answers to all the wrong questions,
It's funny these answers are all that I need.
Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.
Tore down your freeway,
built her an airplane,
It's crazy the things we made in the sky.
So picture me drowning,
pretending I'm happy,
we end up regreting the things..
We don't try.
Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.
Here with my problems
I don't need the light,
they're bigger than darkness and darker than night.
I leave on a promise of something that shines,
perfection aint perfect
a leaver will find. I find this all the time
Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.
so tonight I'll dream she's the bridge.
I never knew there'd be distance between us,
what I've done cannot be repeated...
And I've got scars I'm willing to show you,
you had heart that I'll never see,
she had answers to all the wrong questions,
It's funny these answers are all that I need.
Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.
Tore down your freeway,
built her an airplane,
It's crazy the things we made in the sky.
So picture me drowning,
pretending I'm happy,
we end up regreting the things..
We don't try.
Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.
Here with my problems
I don't need the light,
they're bigger than darkness and darker than night.
I leave on a promise of something that shines,
perfection aint perfect
a leaver will find. I find this all the time
Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.

This Broken Heart Lyrics By Something Corporate
You woke up, in pieces
From making these changes
And holding the ransom, won't write you an anthem
On the outside, i'm trying, 'cause inside, i'm dying
This broken heart was stronger than
Now i can't stand to part with this
This broken heart
You took me for granted
Now i'm changed, you haven't
It won't be so easy to sell me this feeling
This broken heart was stronger than
The words i wish you never meant
This broken heart
Can't make this right, you see on my face,
That i'm not gunna be alright, not tonight,
You can read all my letters, but that won't mean things are fine,
Not this time, 'cause you gave away all the secrets of you and i
This broken heart was stronger than
Now i can't stand to part with this
This broken heart was stronger than
The words i wish you never meant
This broken heart
From making these changes
And holding the ransom, won't write you an anthem
On the outside, i'm trying, 'cause inside, i'm dying
This broken heart was stronger than
Now i can't stand to part with this
This broken heart
You took me for granted
Now i'm changed, you haven't
It won't be so easy to sell me this feeling
This broken heart was stronger than
The words i wish you never meant
This broken heart
Can't make this right, you see on my face,
That i'm not gunna be alright, not tonight,
You can read all my letters, but that won't mean things are fine,
Not this time, 'cause you gave away all the secrets of you and i
This broken heart was stronger than
Now i can't stand to part with this
This broken heart was stronger than
The words i wish you never meant
This broken heart

Good News Lyrics By Something Corporate
she's trapped inside her room
with reruns on the screen
old books and movies
but she can't stop thinking
i'm torn between myself
my radio my friends
i want to write this one off over and over again
and then she looked at me to scream
"my castles are falling"
but i can't look into the street
without everything changing
i want to read good news
i want to be innocent again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
she waits all day
she stands a stranger in her skin
she moves the science with her hands
she lines her walls
with every paper she can see
these words consume her
but they never set her free
and then she looked at me to scream
"my castles are falling"
but i can't look into the street
without everything changing
i want to read good news
i want to be innocent again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
i want to read good news
i want to be a little kid again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
i want to read good news
i want to go to sleep at night again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
with reruns on the screen
old books and movies
but she can't stop thinking
i'm torn between myself
my radio my friends
i want to write this one off over and over again
and then she looked at me to scream
"my castles are falling"
but i can't look into the street
without everything changing
i want to read good news
i want to be innocent again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
she waits all day
she stands a stranger in her skin
she moves the science with her hands
she lines her walls
with every paper she can see
these words consume her
but they never set her free
and then she looked at me to scream
"my castles are falling"
but i can't look into the street
without everything changing
i want to read good news
i want to be innocent again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
i want to read good news
i want to be a little kid again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening
i want to read good news
i want to go to sleep at night again
i want to read good news
but nothing good is happening

Babies Of The 80's Lyrics By Something Corporate
I grew up on five-alive
And transformers and slip-n-slide
Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze
Disco out and techno in
to synthesize my favorite sin
And here I am on my knees
To get it back again
Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine
We learned to crawl on linoleum floors
Ronald Regan fought Star Wars
But he'll never be Han Solo
Students march Tienemen Square
They took him out hey that's not fair
Dad said it's good to be free
As we watched from our T.V.
Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine
We watched the wall fall down
Woke up early for Bozo the clown
MTV and Nick at Night
And I slept for the first time
Without the light
without the light
without the light
(one two one two three go)
My Babies of the 80's
**Little girls in jelly shoes
got the ferris bueller blues**
My babies of the 80's
this could be something after
Who knew this could be something after
Who knew this could be something after
Who Knew
And transformers and slip-n-slide
Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze
Disco out and techno in
to synthesize my favorite sin
And here I am on my knees
To get it back again
Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine
We learned to crawl on linoleum floors
Ronald Regan fought Star Wars
But he'll never be Han Solo
Students march Tienemen Square
They took him out hey that's not fair
Dad said it's good to be free
As we watched from our T.V.

We watched the wall fall down
Woke up early for Bozo the clown

Without the light
without the light
without the light
(one two one two three go)
My Babies of the 80's
**Little girls in jelly shoes

My babies of the 80's
this could be something after
Who knew this could be something after
Who knew this could be something after
Who Knew

I Want To Save You Lyrics By Something Corporate
standing on the edge of morning
scent of sex and new found glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair
she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care
home by three
deafening quiet
the porch light's off
yes they forgot it
she cried herself to sleep
but she don't dare
then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
dressed by dawn and out the door
no light
she memorized the floor
so she could leave without being detected
she works till three
it's uniform
she dreams that he'll come by the store
she prays for days
the boys mean she's protected
and she wants someone to see her
she needs to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
and she won't sleep
she won't sleep
and she won't sleep
at all
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
scent of sex and new found glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair
she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care
home by three
deafening quiet
the porch light's off
yes they forgot it
she cried herself to sleep
but she don't dare
then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you

i want to save you

Straw Dog Lyrics By Something Corporate
Staring into the intersection, she thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction, she's gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling, the further that I'm feeling from alright
The more I step into the sun, the more I step out of the light
Jessica is covered ina blanket on a Sunday porch
Thinking of the weekends she would party in the city
She doesn't have a flame, she'd prefer to burn out like a torch
If she gets nowhere in life, at least she know's she pretty
She said, "Hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now, there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now, they're calling the police
They won't get to us, anyhow."
The moon is shining now and shadows are what's left of all the noise
Simple silhouettes and cutouts as if we had the choice
He listens closely now, swears that he can hear a voice
That's calling him and saying
"Hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now, there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now, they're calling the police
They won't get to us, anyhow."
What does it take to be a superhero in our world?
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape, and then we'd skate away from all of this
And no one ever does.
She's saying "Hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street
Hey now, there's chemicals in the clouds
Hey now, they're calling the police
They won't get to us, anyhow."
Holding on in a new direction, she's gonna try it tonight

Hurricane Lyrics By Something Corporate
Shake down you make me break
For goodness sake
I think I'm on the edge
Of something new with you
Shout out don't drown the sound
I'll drown you out
You'll never screan so loud
As I want to scream with you
Standing there with your smile blinding
Your eyes from seeing
My face as I'm dying
To figure out a girl
But she drifts so far away
I'm on her coast
So maybe I should stay
And map around your world
[Chorus]
So Don't Say
"These currents are still killing me"
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled me
Into the hurricane
Stand up don't make a sound
Your ears might bleed
There are sweet flourescent enemies
That live inside me
The world moves faster than I knew
Not fast enough to not creep up on you
And the space we put between
So pull me under your weather patterns
Your cold fronts and the rain don't matter
Becuase the sun burns what I needed
[Chorus]
You don't do it on purpose
But you make me shake
Now I count the hours 'til you wake
With your babies breath
Breathe symphonies
Come on sweet catastrophe
Maybe this time I can follow through
I can feel complete
Stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling
Keep my oceans calm
This time I know nothings wrong
[Chorus]
For goodness sake
I think I'm on the edge
Of something new with you
Shout out don't drown the sound
I'll drown you out
You'll never screan so loud
As I want to scream with you
Standing there with your smile blinding
Your eyes from seeing
My face as I'm dying
To figure out a girl
But she drifts so far away
I'm on her coast
So maybe I should stay
And map around your world
[Chorus]
So Don't Say
"These currents are still killing me"
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled me
Into the hurricane
Stand up don't make a sound
Your ears might bleed
There are sweet flourescent enemies
That live inside me
The world moves faster than I knew
Not fast enough to not creep up on you
And the space we put between
So pull me under your weather patterns
Your cold fronts and the rain don't matter
Becuase the sun burns what I needed
[Chorus]
You don't do it on purpose
But you make me shake
Now I count the hours 'til you wake
With your babies breath
Breathe symphonies
Come on sweet catastrophe
Maybe this time I can follow through
I can feel complete
Stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling
Keep my oceans calm
This time I know nothings wrong
