Junkie 03:06
Well I’ve always been a sucker for that moment when the lights go down And those pictures tell a story on the screen And I’ve tried to drag you with me down this road that leads to nowhere Now you’ve seen more than you ever cared to see I hope you don’t start to resent me on account of my obsession ‘Cause it doesn’t seem to be going away I never learn my lesson ‘Cause I’m a junkie, yeah, it’s true And I’ve gotta do what I’m compelled to do I know it doesn’t always make much sense to you, But it gets me through I get so much satisfaction from a checkmark by a title Oh, it makes my insides feel all nice and warm I guess it’s sorta like the feeling you get from a shot of whiskey Or a rail of coke, or a needle in your arm I’m addicted to the movies and I don’t think I’ll ever kick But as addictions go, it’s not the worst I could have picked I’m a junkie, yeah it’s true But admit it, darling, you’re a junkie too So come along with me and I’ll go along with you And we’ll get through

Love/Hate 03:28
There’s a hole in the wall and a bruise on my fist Wish I hadn’t drunk so much tonight Sometimes I lose control and I end up like this And I wish I had someone to fight You called me up tonight Just to say you missed me And I know I shouldn’t read too much into the conversation, no Now here I sit alone again in silent desperation And sometimes I just wanna kill you I just wanna kill you I hate you because you make me hate myself because I love you Well, the bottle will empty a drop at a time ‘Til I smash it all over the floor Then I’ll stare at your picture for a moment or two Then I’ll hit the wall as I head out the door The stars are bright tonight But my mind is hazy And I wander out into the street feeling like I’m going crazy And I run and I run and I run and I run and I run and I run and I run and I run and I run I hate you because you make me hate myself because I love you, because I love you Oh I hate you ‘cause I love you, and I love you ‘cause I hate you and I hate you ‘cause I love you So much

Keaton 04:03
Keep a stone face Never let ‘em know what you’re thinking Even if your boat is sinking Keep it inside Keep your feelings undercover If they hear you speak, it’s over You’ve got a job to do You don’t need anyone to help you Things have a way of coming back around on you If you keep on track, keep on track, keep on track You never thought you’d get the girl But today a hundred girls will chase you And all your dreams will come true Don’t be afraid to step into the screen for as long as you need to To figure things out And if you ever have a doubt Just remember that You’ve got a job to do You don’t need anyone to help you Things have a way of coming back around on you If you keep on track, keep on track, keep on track You know where you’re going Don’t let them take the wheel from you And if the walls fall down Be sure to find a window you can squeeze your shoulders through You’ve got a job to do You don’t need anyone to help you Things have a way of coming back around on you If you keep on track, keep on track, keep on track Keep on track, keep on track, keep on track Keep on track, keep on track, keep on track

I didn’t think we’d make it Through those endless lonely nights You ended up on PBR and American Spirit Menthol Lights And I drank so much caffeine That my heart would start to race It was Coke Zero and Red Bull ‘til I lost my sense of taste And we found ourselves altered and said things we didn’t mean And we both stared at the ceiling and thought about getting clean I need you to start me up in the morning And you need me to calm you down in the afternoon We consume each other like a meth lab fire It’s a race to the bottom and I hope we hit it soon You checked in for treatment and some psychiatric tests It was polysubstance dependence and bipolar disorder NOS And our house felt so empty so I scored some bad cocaine It was heavy metal and porno and my self-respect down the drain And I looked in the mirror and I didn’t like the view And it was Jesus Christ or a heart attack and my choice between the two I need you to start me up in the morning And you need me to calm you down in the afternoon We consume each other like a meth lab fire It’s a race to the bottom and I hope we hit it soon Can our love recover? One day at a time We’ll trust a higher power And walk the dotted line I need you to start me up in the morning And you need me to calm you down at night We consume each other like a holy fire It’s a race to the middle, goodbye to the lows and highs

Denial 03:19
Isn’t this the best place we could possibly be? Maybe not, but anyway, we’re here So I say we make the most of it and play the hand we’re dealt Instead of wasting our lives ruled by fear We’re running out of time before the bell But we refuse to admit it to ourselves We’re all trying to forget we’re gonna die ‘Cause we’re afraid to meet the man in the sky Or we’re afraid of finding out there’s no man in the sky So we act like we’re all just fine, and we race towards the finish line And we push the truth down deep and work so hard for peace of mind We sing, or we pray, or we drink and fight and dance the night away But we can’t escape the end of the day So while our hearts are still beating Let’s say the words until they lose their meaning We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die We’re all trying to forget we’re gonna die ‘Cause we’re afraid to meet the man in the sky Or we’re afraid of finding out there’s no man in the sky So we act like we’re all just fine, and we race towards the finish line And we push the truth down deep and work so hard for peace of mind We sing, or we pray, or we drink and fight and dance the night away But we can’t escape the end

Welles 04:37
Look where we are, isn’t this great? It feels like Christmas Day And this is the best train set that a boy could ever get So let’s get to work before they figure out We don’t really know what we’re talking about We’re like a California wine that’s been sold before its time But I believe in this dream more than anything More than love or death or God or hell or heaven So keep the focus on the background and the foreground and everything between ‘Cause we might never be this free again What if this is as good as it gets? So this is France…or is it Spain? I must have fallen asleep on the plane Now I’m hungry and confused As though something’s been removed So come with me now and let’s give this a try We’re caught in the space between truth and lies On the other side of the wind Toward the windmill once again Who needs peace and brotherhood and comfort? Give me pain and fear and war and blood and famine Now the chimes are ringing midnight, but what’s midnight but the dark before the dawn? Every new day is a place we’ve never been So what if this is as good as it gets? So what if this is as good as it gets? When I die, I will not look back with one ounce of regret Even if this is as good as it gets

Nicolas Cage 03:12
I used to tell myself that you were perfect But lately I can’t say that with a straight face Still, I’ve been holding on for your good days, and sometimes It feels like a wild goose chase Every time I think you’re on the right track You give the steering wheel another jerk It’s hard to think of life without you But I don’t know if this gonna work ‘Cause your heart is wild like Nicolas Cage is And like Nic Cage, it makes questionable decisions But I love it anyway You’re irresponsible and extravagant And a lot of the things you do frustrate me But there’s no one else like you I come home to find you screaming Doused in paint and clawing at the walls I guess I shouldn’t be surprised Once in a while you’ve gotta let a little madness out So it won’t eat you from inside But what happens when the madness gets to be the only thing that’s coming through? You’re a little hard to handle now that breaking things is all you do And your heart is wild like Nicolas Cage is And like Nic Cage, it makes questionable decisions But I love it anyway You’re decadent and incoherent A lot of the time, I can’t understand you But I’m not ready to give up Once you were Leaving Las Vegas, and now you’re Left Behind I guess I’ll have to adapt ‘Cause I am what I love and not what loves me back

Ana Torrent 03:22
Mama, I’ve been seeing things Is my sister really dead? Are there monsters creeping ‘round the plains Or is it in my head? There’s a darkness in the distance That I cannot understand Mama, is your lover far away With his blood on Father’s hands? Sometimes I think I hit my peak when I was five That was back before they stuck me in the beehive Back when hope was still alive And I still believed in Frankenstein Teacher, show me where the heart is And feed me something sweet My eyes will never be this wide again Show me which mushrooms not to eat Sometimes I think I hit my peak when I was five That was back before they stuck me in the beehive Back when hope was still alive And I still believed

Peckinpah 01:28
Well, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, Bill And sometimes what a man’s gotta do is kill But there comes a time when what a man’s gotta do is die Nobody makes a clean getaway No matter how hard you run or how hard you pray They’re gonna catch up to you as soon as your tank runs dry Like every man, you were once a child But the world can steal your soul and turn you wild And you can’t repair the damage you have done To your liver with the bottle Or to other people’s faces with a gun
10.
I can’t promise I’ll never get cancer And I don’t know if we’ll have a child And I sorta doubt we’ll ever leave Cleveland And head into the wild Something inside me says I should keep writing Even though it’ll never make us rich I don’t fit in the middle of the road So I’ll stay in the ditch And all I can offer is American Splendor I’ll wake you up every day and we’ll both go to work You’ll long for adventure But ordinary life can be an adventure So what more can you ask for? And I sorta doubt we’ll ever get famous
