"Until her eyes crossed over Until her mind crossed over Until her soul fell next to me"

"And if I'm wasting my time Then nothing could be better Than hanging on the line And waiting for an honest word forever"

"Just a rusty-coloured rain that drives a man insane"

"And then my idols walk next to me I look up at them, they fade away It's a destruction of a mystery The more i listen to what they say So does that mean that there's no more doin' And there's no more thinkin' And there's no more feeling 'Cause there's no right opinion So can you tell me what I'm supposed to do?"

"Come and tell me what you're thinking 'Cause just when the boat is sinking A little light is blinking And I will come and rescue you"

"I guess I'm just another runaway"

"And I don't wanna break the rules 'Cause I've broken them all before But every time I see you I wonder why I don't break a couple rules so that you'll notice me"

"You try to tell her what to do And all she does is stare at you Her stare is louder than your voice Because truth doesn't make a noise"

"My mind's already out of here"

"Soft hair and a velvet tongue I wanna give you what you give to me And every breath that is in your lungs Is a tiny little gift to me"

"It might sound silly For me to think childish thoughts like these But i'm so tired of acting tough And I'm gonna do what I pleaseLet's get married In a big cathedral by a priest 'Cause if I'm the man that you love the most You could say "I do" at least"

"I never said that I wouldn't Throw my jacket in the mud for you But my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you Then you said "You almost dropped me" so then I did And I got mud on my shoes"

"Fell in love with a girl Fell in love once and almost completely She's in love with the world But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading"

"My left brain knows that all love is fleeting"

"It can't be love for there is no true love"

"Well, I'm sorry but I'm not interested in gold mines, oil wells, shipping, or real estate What would I liked to have been? Everything you hate"

"There is a man—a certain man And for the poor you may be sure that he'll do all he can Who is this one? Who's favourite son? Just by his action has the traction magnets on the run Who likes to smoke, enjoys a joke, And wouldn't get a bit upset if he were really broke With wealth and fame, he's still the same I'll bet you five you're not alive if you don't know his name"

"I'm coming through the door, but they're expecting more Of an interesting man, sometimes I think I can; But how much can I fake? I'll speak until I break; With every word I say, offend in every way"

"All you little kids seem to think you know just where it's at Oh, I think I smell a rat"

"What a season To be beautiful Without a reason"

"No harm will come of this One little midnight kiss"

"Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it from the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell"

"All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more"

"Listen, master, can I ask you a question? Is it the fingers or the brain that you're teaching this lesson?"

"I saw you standing in the corner On the edge of a burning light"

"You make me feel a little older Like a full grown woman might But when you're gone I grow colder Come to me again in the cold, cold night"

"I need the fuel to make my fire bright"

"I'm afraid to even open my eyes"

"It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son"

"I had opinions that didn't matter I had a brain that felt like pancake batter"

"I wanna hold your little hand if I can be so bold And be your right-hand man 'til your hands get old And then when all the feeling's gone Just decide if you want to keep holding on I want to hold your little hand if I can be so bold If I can be so bold If I can be so bold"

"Life is so boring It's really got me snoring"

"Well, don't you remember? You told me in December That a boy is not a man until he makes a stand Will, I'm not a genius, But maybe you'll remember this: I never said I ever wanted to be a man"

"Well strip the bark right off a tree and just hand it this way Don't even need a drink of water to make the headache go away Give me a sugar pill and watch me just rattle down the street Acetaminophen—you see the medicine—oh, girl You have no faith in medicine"

"I've got your phone number written in the back of my bible"

"Love really bores me"

"The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon"

"I blew it And if I knew what to do, then I'd do it But the point that I have, I'll get to it That forever for her is over for me "Forever"—just the word that she said that means never To be with another together And with the weight of a feather it tore into me"

"My friends are all dying And death can't be lying It's the truth and it don't make a noise"

"I am as ugly as I seem Worse than all your dreams"

"Can you believe some things are not Appealing as a spot On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom?"

"You wanna take away from me Things that are mine and it's not your right It's odd that you wouldn't expect a fight Can it be that I don't want what you want?"

"I go down to the river Filled with regret I go down and I wonder If there was any reason left I left just before my lungs could get wet I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet"

"Icky thump with the lump in my throat Grabbed my coat and I was freaking, I was ready to go Yeah, I swear, beside the hair she had one white eye One blank stare, lookin' up, lyin' there"

"Well, Americans, what? Nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant, too!"

"One sound can hold back a thousand hands when the pipe plays a tune forlorn"

"I travel backwards in ecstasy"

"Now my mind is filled with rubber tires and forest fires and whether I'm a liar and lots of other situations where I don't know what to do, at which time God screams to me, "There's nothing left for me to tell you""

"Well, in every complicated situation there's a human relation Making sense of it all takes a whole lot of concentration Well, you can blame the baby for her pregnant ma And if there's one of these unavoidable laws It's just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause"

"Downtown Detroit has more vacant buildings over 10 storeys than any city in the world. Tons of skyscrapers with nothing in them. [The flag] is the idea of rooting for the underdog, because Detroit has such a bad reputation."
