[wrapped up]

i tried to grow up, but i failed
gonna end up dead, or gonna end up in jail
i couldn't be a kid 'cause of all the hate mail
tried to do something fresh but it ended up stale

can't breathe, can't speak
can't hear, can't see
can't move, can't feel
nothing left, nothing real

wrapped up in the prozac, doomed to fail
wrapped up in the prozac, doomed to fail

i sized up the competition, and i pale
every move i make leaves a trail
i've spent my life back against the rail
can't count the times that i wanted to bail

can't breathe, i can't speak
can't hear, can't see
can't move, i can't feel
nothing left, no, nothing real

wrapped up in the prozac, doomed to fail
wrapped up in the prozac, doomed to fail
wrapped up in the prozac, doomed to fail
wrapped up in the prozac, doomed to fail

[superstar]

well you think you really got it, girl
you think you got it right down now to a "t"
yeah, you think you got it goin' on
with all your knowledge and your wit and your petty bourgeoisie
oh, you're such a martyr, girl
i know you think you came from the salt of the great, big ol' earth
well it's time for your wake-up call
smell the coffee, baby, it's time to find out what you are worth

quit wasting my time with this mockery
endless pleasantries, over and over again
this charade is goin' on indefinitely
endless agony, over and over again
but what do you care...

cuz you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
everyone loves you
everyone wants to be you
everyone worships each step you take
hanging on to every word you enunciate
you're a star!
superstar

yeah, you think you know what it's like
to walk around this town in everyone else's shoes
but you know it's not the same thing, baby
and i know this will probably be news
you suck the life right out of me
communicating is like talking to the same ol' damn brick wall
you make me wish that your mama and your daddy
never got together to make a baby, yes you baby, at all

you seek attention like it's a shopping spree
endless soliciting, over and over again
show a sign of life and you're bugging me
endless eliciting, over and over and over again
but what do you care...

cuz you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
everyone wants you
everyone wants to be with you
everyone worships each step you take
hanging on to every word you enunciate
you're a star!
superstar

cuz you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
everyone loves you
everyone wants to be you
everyone worships each step you take
hanging on to every word you enunciate
you're a star!
cuz you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
you're a superstar! yeah, you're a star!
everyone wants you
everyone wants to be with you
everyone worships each step you take
hanging on to every word you enunciate
you're a star!

[plush girl]

i look at you and i fall into
being sixteen, swimming in blue
a sonic energy when you hit the strings
makes me feel a piece of everything

i can smell your sweet perfume
though we've never been in the same room
let me forget my failed circumstance
because i want to dance

a distant corner of a far-off room
a fleeting moment that's gone too soon
do you think we can break the hourglass?
i don't want this to pass

a different world where you cross my path
we sit and talk, butterflies when you laugh
walking in the rain in late fall afternoon
gazing through your tune

top

[kick]

when we were together, i felt at peace
soft and lovely, beauty in every release
but then you said if you stayed, you thought you might die
now i'm hanging by a thread, high and dry
high and dry

butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out
butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out

promises made but not one has remained
our moments have transformed from pleasure to pain
now i'm all alone, i can only wonder why
all of the reasons have passed me by
passed me by

butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out
butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out

spit me out, kick me out
spit me out, kick me out
spit me out, kick me out
spit me out, kick me out

butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out
butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out
butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out
butter me up before you put me down
take what you want and then kick me out

[too many]

everytime you cross that line
i want to run away
everytime i get what's mine
you always take it away

too many days gone by
too many times that i couldn't even try
too many ways in which i failed
and once again
i don't know where i've been

gray and wrinkled and past its prime
wanted to make it but i ran outta time
there's no recourse and no reset
i can't go back and i can't seem to forget

too many years gone by
too many times i didn't even ask why
too many comparisons in which i paled
and once again
regrets from then
regrets from then

i look around to find someone to blame
i try to think of a face or remember a name
but the person who ignored my cries for help
was none other than my own disgusting self
and i can't seem to justify
anything that you could verify as true
i keep on spinning out of control
out of control, because of you

too many days gone by
too many times that i couldn't even try
too many ways in which i failed
and once again
i don't know where i've been
too many years gone by
too many times i didn't even ask why
too many comparisons in which i paled
and once again
regrets from then
regrets from then

[separate]

our path has a fork in the road
we were on a roll but then everything slowed down
guess we won't ever know what could have been
because i think it's time for this to end now

for so long, this felt so unreal
too good to be true, well that's the deal now
well that's the deal now

unhinging, breaking apart
falling to pieces and starting all over again
dying, decaying, no more reason to delay
we should become separate
separate
there's no reason to stay here anymore
let's separate

it's my life but this feels like a game
when we fight over nothing except who gets the blame now
i don't want to know what you hide
and my own secrets would put that to shame now

i guess we got lost and forgot the way
and there's no way that i can stay down
that i can stay down

i don't know what you want me to do
no, i don't know, whoa, what you want me to do
