Lose Myself 02:55
I wanna lose myself, So no-one can see me, Want to lose myself, Invisibility. I wanna lose myself. I wanna scare myself AGH So no-one can scare me, Want to scare myself, BeforeI get lazy. I wanna scare myself. The reckless abandon of being young, When it's not your fault for your loose tongue, And everything you think, you say, Before it sinks, but that's okay, They say youth is wasted on the young, But I don't agree, it's just good fun. I wanna be myself, Just to be left be, Want to be myself, But want someone to love me. I wanna be myself. Lose yourself. Scare yourself. Save yourself.

Body Ahernia 03:05
Wish my friends would all die at 88, That way I'd be somehow in a more relaxed state, I worry about them all of the time, It's funny 'cos their lives are better than mine. I hate when people say that life's not fair. Throw sand into their eyes just to show my despise, 'cos every little thing you say or do, It's not that beautiful, you're not that beautiful. Ba-ba-badada-badadada x4 Why would you want to live to 100? So you can be some kind of kindred spirit? And all the children would gather around, Saying 'quiet please, that man is so profound'. But life after 80 seems pretty dull, And uneventful, it's fucking pitiful. ''cos every little thing you say or do, It's not that beautiful, you're not that beautiful. Ba-ba-badada-badadada x8

When I see a forest Got that look in my eye I take off running through it It's never a surprise They see me coming back Just to leave again Don't know where I'm going Just hand me a pen When I write it down It seems clearer now I don't have to worry About the when or the how When I see the ocean The same look in my eye I take of swimming through it 'Til I reach the skyline Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh

She's a real fine lady Took the first ferry, in mid January Thought it was very oh oh Apt to see his father, emerge from the water With his only daughter uh oh. He said 'son you look thinner, let's take you to dinner' Never ate finer then then Hadn't seen them in decades according to records and he never saw either again. But did he love her? She looked just like her mother The world keeps turning and I'm being the one that's left behind The world keeps turning and I'm thinking of all the days gone by The world keeps turning and I'm looking up and looking all around The world keeps turning and I'm waiting to be found.
