Steve-O, don't move to San Francisco.
Steve-O, don't move away.
I hear your laugh echoing off the street cars, basking in the delay.
I see your fears resting deep down, dormant at the bottom of the bay.
I am just starting to feel this new void since our friendship decayed.
Just take some time to figure it out. Don't make your move with a doubt.
Steve-O, don't move to San Francisco.
Steve-O, don't move away.
I got my feet stuck in the cold Atlantic. Help me. Help me escape.

New Year's Eve
02:56

New Year's Eve is a time to get together,
but I don't have a reason to party.
My brain is sealed up in imitation leather.
My stomach regrets last night's Bacardi.
Shouldn't you be out with your friends
so that you can celebrate the end of the year?
It isn't the time to contemplate.
You gotta get going now you're late for the year.
I'm not ready to leave this year behind me.
I'm not ready to open up my door
To face the people whose names you must remind me,
to face the things that I always ignore.
Shouldn't you be out with your friends
sipping on champagne glasses filled with warm beer?
It isn't the time to contemplate.
You gotta get going now you're late for the year.
Don't make me leave the apartment.
I'll sit here still when I'm starving,
Amongst the dust and the varmint.
Don't make me leave the apartment.
New Year's Eve is a time to get together,
but I don't have a reason to party.
My brain is sealed up in imitation leather.
My stomach regrets last night's Bacardi.
Shouldn't you be out with your friends
so that you can celebrate the end of the year?
It isn't the time to contemplate.
You gotta get going now you're late for the year.

Walk In My Shoes
04:00
|

|
Yeah, I have draped myself in worn wool head to toe,
And wandered 'round Walden like Henry David Thoreau.
I've sat staring empty-eyed at the TV set,
Limbs limp like some unattended marionette.
You can walk around in their shoes,
but you will always step the way you do.
Yeah, I have dressed in Canadian Tuxedos,
And broken bottles to prove my self-esteem is low.
Today, I'm feeling my feet touch the solid ground.
Tomorrow, I will hate the way this record sounds.
You can walk around in their shoes,
but you will always step the way you do.

Chromatose

Maybe I could understand how you think,
understand the opinions that you bring,
If you weren't afraid of getting overwhelmed,
afraid of letting someone take the helm.
Everything is here. You've gotta open your eyes if
you wanna see it all in chromatose.
Every note, you hear. You've gotta listen. Listen if
you wanna hear it all in chromatose.
All these familiar faces on the street,
faces of strangers I will never meet,
I will never stop until we get in deep,
stop until we get all our hands dirty.
Everything is here. You've gotta open your eyes if
you wanna see it all in chromatose.
Every note, you hear. You've gotta listen. Listen if
you wanna hear it all in chromatose.

American Man
03:39

Do you make your bed and sweep the floor?
Brush your teeth before you chores?
Can you throw a curve ball? Skip a stone?
Take a punch to your jaw bone?
What makes you an American man?
You don't represent this place.
What makes me an American man?
It's not written on my face.
Do you have the patience to live your live
Without showing them the light?
Do you love you freedom and love to fight?
Wanna make 'em see what's right?
What makes you an American man?
You don't represent this place.
What makes me an American man?
It's not written on my face.
I am an American man.
