"Smokestack" lyrics
"Smokestack"
Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I'm a smokestack
Turnin' blood into booze
Now my liver's on fumes
Little alcoholic
I'm always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I'm standin' in my own way
No, we can't skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well it was time for me to go home
Let's go and make some flyers for our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar
I saw a life go past that I guess I coulda had
But I didn't try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
'Cause it's time for me to go home
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
You changed my life

Mest - "Cadillac" It's Friday night

I'll see her later on tonight

Box Car Racer - "Letters To God" caught off guard
all worked up
the air is as dark and cold as night
let me go
i'm not done

maybe i don't wanna go
can't you wait...
Slick Shoes - "Whispers" There was a time when
I was certain of so many things
I was complacent
And that's how I hardened
I could not see that I was wrong
I thought I could do it on my own
I lost my hope and fell so far...
Hot Water Music - "Trusty Chords" "You'll get it right sometime. You will."
I tell myself that everyday.

You'll just end up back here
In your little limbo scene."
It's repetitious and...
The Wonder Years - "Cul-De-Sac" I've been leaving messages on an answering machine
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening.
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss
And the silence makes me sick....
