Non-Dairy Creamer

Quote:

They call it KFC, cause its not really chicken
Hot cheetos for breakfast make a young student sick
And did you ever think someone’s tricking you?
And the guy in the pulpit is a bigot and alas
Some kid walks into my school and opens fire
Heard any good jokes lately?
Cause we sure do need 'em
My punk band's called operation Iraqi freedom

So what's it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy creamer?

A new love is burning up for me
Cause one in four American girls has an STD
And you can buy yourself some implants
But you can't buy a soul .............
With your chest popped out
What are you so afraid about?
With your chest popped out
What are you so afraid about?
What are you so afraid of?
What are you so afraid of?

So what's it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy creamer?

And two gay guys got married
That brought the family to its knees
How did they blow this to smithereens?
Just a couple of queens
How did they do it I’ll tell you now
They brought marriage to an end
And I found myself some culprits
It’s two young gay republicans
Young gay republicans
Young gay republicans
Young gay republicans

What’s it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy creamer?
So what's it gonna be?
Are you real to me?
Or are you non-dairy creamer?

I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
And she lives for me
She says she lives for me
Ovation
She's got her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling,
What we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play,

She said
I want something else

To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye

The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop
I won't come down,
I keep stock
With a tick-tock rhythm
And a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
I said..
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said

I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right

When the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips
In the city
We tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One
Now you hold me
And we're broken
Still its all that I want to do

Feel myself
With a head made of the ground
I'm scared
But I'm not coming down, no no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right

I want something else
To get me through this...
Life.......
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand

The angry boy, a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason to say
Put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand

We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
And your friends have left too, you've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today, we can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand

(I would understand, I would understand...)

Can you put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
And I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
And I would understand

Losing a whole year
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year
Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs
The phone would ring
Like a joke that's left unsaid
Losing a whole year

Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money
And your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you want to try a life of sin
You want to be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used
And now I realize that you never heard
One goddamned word I ever said
Losing a whole year

Took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
I've seen you pop that check
Craning your neck at the car wreck
It always seems the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack
When you start talking
I hear the Prozac
Convinced you've found your place
With the pierced queer teens in Cyberspace
When you were yourself it tasted sweet
But it sours into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And I don't want to play no more
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamned day in bed
Losing a whole year

When we met light was shed
Thoughts free flow you said you've got something
Deep inside of you
A wind chime voice sound
Sway of your hips round rings true
Echo's deep inside of you
These secret garden beams changed my life so it seems
Fall breeze blows outside, I don't bring stride
My thoughts are warm, and they go deep inside of you

Oh yeah
And I never felt alone
Alright, alone... alone
Till I met you

Friends say I've changed
I don't listen cause I live to be
Deep inside of you
Slide of her dress, shouts in darkness
I'm so alive I'm
Deep inside of you
You said boy make girl feel good
But still... deep inside... still

I've never felt alone
Till I met you
I'm alright on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming

I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my own people if I could find them,
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you,
I'm sorry to you, and I don't want to call you,
But then I want to call you cause I don't want to crush you,
But I feel like crushing you
And it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me

But we were broke, and didn't know
But we were broke, and didn't know
But we were broke, and didn't know
But we were broke, and didn't know
Right... oh, what's right?

Something's gone you withdraw
And I'm not strong like before
I was Deep inside of you
I can go nowhere I burn candles and stare at a ghost
Deep inside of you
And some great need in me, starts to bleed
I've lost myself there's nothing left
It's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you

Just an old friend coming over
Now to visit you and
That's what I've become
I let myself in
Though I know I'm not supposed to but
I never know when I'm done

And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor around your body glistens in the shower
And I wanna stay right here
And go down on you for an hour
Or stay and let the day just fade away
In a wild dedication
Take the moment of hope
And let it run

Never look back
At all the damage we have done now
To each other
To each other
To each other

But when I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
And I'm blinded
There's nothing left to do
and still I see you

I never believe that things that they happen for a reason
And they never go as planned
I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned
But you're past where you understand

Now her appetite is blown
Little else is known
except she's a little angry
Grabs a towel, looks away
and heat fades with the day
And I fall down on what to say
oh something clean, let me be clever
Hey oh well, whatever
But that's not what I mean
Where we're been has left us burned
still i wont turn now from a fight
You know I'll never win

so when I see you
you know all the things I've done
well i'm blinded
Like I'm staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun

(Hey! I'm Blinded!)
(Hey! I'm Blinded!)
(Hey! I'm Blinded!)

Time it passes and it tells us what we're left with
We become the things we do
Me, I'm a fool, spent from defiance
yeah you got me but
I didn't give up on you

icarus is not a tee shirt or a swan song, no
He is born again and
It's not easy being me
but I can't promise I will mend
Or bend when you believe
That we are fixed now from our birth
And I've just fallen back to earth
Still you know I'll try again
Cause I believe that we are lucky
We are golden
We have stolen manners
in the days when we were one

So when I see you
In spite of all that we've become
I'm still blinded
But I'm still staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you

Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
Well I'm still staring down the sun
I'm blinded

When I see you
When I see you
When I see you

There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

(Chorus):
I never let you turn around, your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, your back on each other

You say that I've changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

(Repeat Chorus)

And all our friends are gone, are gone
And all the time moves on, and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's worng
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
It's wrong
It's wrong
It's wrong

If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you turn around your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, let's trun on each other
Good idea, break a promise to your mother

Turn around your back on each other
That''s a good idea break a promise to your mother
Turn around, let's trun on each other
What a Good idea

I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets, and the beads, nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams, you don't dream for me no, you don't dream for me no, but I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves, that girl is like a sunburn I would like to save, that girl is like a sunburn, I would like to save, she's like a sunburn.

Everything is quiet since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
I do the things we did before
I walk Haight street to the store
And then they say where's that crazy girl
You don't get drunk on red wine, and fight no more
I don't see you anymore
Since the hospital

The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because I, carry you around in the background
I'm in the background

Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while, they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you,
No, I would never lie to you,
I felt you long after we were through
When we were through

The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly I only feel for you
I only know because I, carry you around in the background
I'm in the background

I only know but I am, way,
I'm way in the background.

Miss Jones taught me English
But I think I just shot her son
'Cause he owed me money
With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess I didn't mean it
But man, you should've seen it
His flesh explode

Slow motion, see me let go
We tend to die young
Slow motion, see me let go
What a brother knows
Slow motion, see me let go

Now the cops will get me
But girl, if you would let me
I'll take your pants off
I got a little bit of blow we could both get off
Later, bathing in the afterglow
Two lines of coke got cut with Drano
And her nose starts to bleed
A most beautiful ruby red

Slow motion, see me let go
We'll remember these days
Slow motion, see me let go
Urban life decays
Slow motion, see me let go

And at home
My sister's eating paint chips again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I shut the door to her moaning
And I shoot smack in my veins
Wouldn't you?
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Because he hates his life
There's an arc to his fist as he swings
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
And death slides close to me
Won't grow old to be
A junkie wino creep

Hollywood glamorized my wrath
I'm a young urban psychopath
I incite murder for your entertainment
'Cause I needed the money
What's your excuse?
The joke's on you

Slow motion, see me let go
Oh yeah
Slow motion, see me let go
Slow motion, see me let go

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
In lower Chelsea and I don't know
What I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That's when I knew
That I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don't mind, you smile.
And say the world, it doesn't fit with you
I don't believe you, you're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you

And there's things I would like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you'll never see it happen

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've, I've never been so alive

And there's this burning, aaa-oh
There is this burning, yeah yeah yeah

Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything
But I could never do that
Someone would see through that

And this is our last time
We'll be friends again
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am

And there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I, and I, I've never been so alive
So alive

I go home to the coast
It starts to rain I paddle out on the water, alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again

Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming to take me home

And I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

Blue come over
Born a joneser
The cops pull out the radar
And shoot devious grins
Another day begins
I want someone to know me
Maybe tell me who I am
'Cause I've faced down my demons
And cried out to a god
A god I've never seen
Lights
And the world darkens around me
Strange friends all surround me
New ideas in my head start to burn
Dropped out of schools 'cause of things that I never learned
And the world darkens around me
World darkens around me, yeah
World darkens around me, yeah
I want you to love me
Like you did before you knew me
And I never thought there'd be any help for somebody like me
A vacancy
Say
'Cause the world darkens around me
Strange friends all surround me
New ideas in my head start to burn
Trust no one, that's the one thing that I've learned
'Cause the world darkens around me
World darkens around me, yeah
Bring me the sun 'cause I slide off the moon
Bring me the sun
Slide off the moon
Yeah you better get home soon
There's no hope for people like you and me
There's no hope for people
Slide off the moon
Bring me the sun 'cause I slide off the moon
Bring me the sun
Slide off the moon

Hey bro props at the after show
Can you tell me where the greenbuds grows?
I'd like to say you turned my life around

I lost myself outside again
With the sound running through my head
Drowned out way out in the crowd
and the crowd goes singing

My people are the misfits
The ones that don't fit in
With the smile I know it comes within
I can feel you in the corners laughing when the lightings low

They say
Tick tick. tell me where the time goes
Oh life, you know it moves much to slow
Tick tick tell me where the time goes
Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me
Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

My people are the misfits
I won't let you down
I'm dizzy from whatever we just passed around
I bleed for the moments when we're here
And we're all around

There's no simple way to let you know
Funny, how she always cried out daddy
I got a big surprise

She said, "I'm in trouble now and it cannot wait"
She's ten days late
And boy, your life got complicated
Well I can't wait to see this through
She's ten days late
Ten days late

Low ride bicycles go cruising by
I laugh, I don't even know why
Talk back at the ocean

Consequence and ozone catch a glow
Oh no baby, oh no no

Give me a minute now to figure out my state
Oh I know, she's ten days late
And I don't know where to take it
But it's still great knowing you
Ten days late
Uh!

Time has come for you to choose
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Many blessings come to you
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Baby daddy, keep your boo

Your eyes look to me for what to do
I can't lie, I don't know
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean

No one's laughing now, what do I say?
You walk away, but oh no don't go
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean

Give me a minute now to figure out my state
She's ten days late
And I'm never going to fade it
I guess I'll always be knowing you
Knowing you
Knowing you

Crawl up...

The guy who put his hands on you
Has got nothing to do with me
And the bruises that you feel will heal
And I hope you come around
Cause we're missing you
You used to speak so easy
Now you're afraid to talk to me

It's like walking with the wounded
Carrying that weight way too far
The concrete pulled you down so hard
Out there with the wounded
Missing you

Well I never claimed to understand
What happens after dark
But my fingers catch sparks at the thought of touching you
When you're wounded

Let me break it down till I force the issue
We miss your face and you know I wish you
Would come back down to the Dalva Bar
You tell them, that's just my battle scar
I want to kiss you
And knock them down like we used to
You're the marigold
Till you're walking down shaking that ass again
And then you walk on baby walk on
You walk on
On and on
You're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
And we're missing you

Now it's fall, and your shoulders get tighter
Nervous flicks on the lighter, boots
Your pissed off poets, your women's groups
And the friends with you, we should have known this fool
Well I guess we missed the mark
Still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of
Them touching you
Now you're wounded

Let me break it down till I force the issue
You never come around, and you know we miss you
Well nobody took your pride away, I said
That's something people say
Back down the bully to the back of the bus
Cause it's time for them to be scared of us
Till you're yelling, how we living cause you got the ball
Then you rock on baby, rock on, your rock on
On and on
You're a summer time hottie with her socks in the air
Screaming I don't care baby I don't care

You say you don't know
You say you don't grow
All I know is we're missing you

You say you don't know
You say you don't grow
All I know is we're missing you

Show up
Show up wounded
Show up
Show up wounded.

Cigarette's make an ember stain
Notes scribbled on paper chain
Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?
You busted out you been defeated
All strong bones we hold no water
A big fake smile and you try harder
Time wound down and you've been cached
Half measures are all half-assed!
How did I ever end up this way?
Cause I go numb in disarray
I cultivate my ignorance
Didn't I have some standards once?
I hate you down to your boots
We wanted clever, we settled for cute and
Remember the times I looked in your eyes
All the times we rhapsodized
Do not love you will find no trust and
Do not touch you will find no such
Give me back my photos, will you?
You sexual intercourse whore I'll kill you!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Don't believe it!
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Every fake is everything
Some dull ache replace the sting
Rap stars brag and shoot each other
And entertain just like no other
We love thugs when they attack and
We love crime all black on black and
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Yeah don't believe it!
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'

Found a bomb with big lich pins
Yay for the bullies they always win
All sensation makes no sense
Some insane confidence
Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take?
Scandalize now with such ease
Stress this secular disease
Sermon tells a soldier squeeze
The trigger on our enemies
We're all alive, all alone
Til you come home
Please come home

Don't believe a word
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
Yeah don't believe it!
Just keep on dreamin'
Please don't believe a word
Pretty soon we'll wake up screamin'
