Feeling Like Flying Lyrics

FALLEN Perfect for so long Yeah I was so strong Playing it straight and true Walking the narrow Then came the arrow Completely out of the blue And I never dreamed I'd blow it But I've hit the wall So many years I thought I knew it all RIGHT OFF THE WAGON CHASING THE DRAGON OVER THE EDGE I'VE FALLEN UNDER THE WIRE INTO THE FIRE BURNING MY BRIDGES FALLEN How are you feeling Now that I'm reeling What is it like to be you What were you thinking What was I drinking When you staged your little coup And I never dreamed I'd mess up But I've hit the wall Why did I think I knew it all RIGHT OFF THE WAGON CHASING THE DRAGON OVER THE EDGE I'VE FALLEN UNDER THE WIRE INTO THE FIRE BURNING MY BRIDGES FALLEN Well I never dreamed I'd fuck up Till I hit the wall So many years I thought I knew it all GOOD-BYE THE ANGEL BROKEN THE HALO SLAM HEAVEN'S GATE I'VE FALLEN RIGHT OFF THE WAGON CHASING THE DRAGON OVER THE EDGE I'VE FALLEN UNDER THE WIRE INTO THE FIRE BURNING MY BRIDGES FALLEN Jane: electric guitar, vocals, background vocals Charles Bernal: bass Eric Skodis: drums, background vocals Luke Tierney: electric guitar Brian Waters: additional guitar, background vocals Dave Bassett: background vocals © 2000 Wiedlin/Bruce/Vallance MESSY Nobody is perfect It's the struggle that counts And I'm the perfect example Of trouble in small amounts 'Cause I'm strong in my weakness And I'm sweet but I'm mean And it's a dirty old world So don't try to keep it clean MESSY LIFE IS MESSY MESSY LIFE IS MESSY Some people gotta cause chaos Stir up a steady life Make things complicated Start some trouble and strife 'Cause it's hard to be easy going And it feels good to be bad And no one is ever satisfied With the things they have. MESSY LIFE IS MESSY MESSY LIFE IS MESSY And everything changes That's the certain chance So don't walk the straight line Might as well dance.

write them down gotta get it out BE MY MUSE LET ME USE YOU BE THE ONE 'CAUSE I CHOOSE YOU BRING ME WORDS YOU'D BETTER AMUSE ME TOO BE MY MUSE Things were gray but that was yesterday Now it's changed and nothing is the same Now it's red I feel it through my veins Now it's clear and plain it's all good again BE MY MUSE LET ME USE YOU BE THE ONE 'CAUSE I CHOOSE YOU BRING ME WORDS YOU'D BETTER AMUSE ME TOO BE MY MUSE When I kiss you I hear music When I smell you so sweet a kick Inside my head inspiration hits It's so present tense it's all making sense Jane: electric guitar, vocals, background

Wiedlin SOONER OR LATER Who do you think you are Like you're different like you're special Who do you think you are Screaming your opinion Like it really matters You'd be anybody do anything To be the center of attention BUT SOONER OR LATER SURROUNDED BY SILENCE YOU'LL COME FACE TO FACE WITH FEAR REVELATION BORN OF VIOLENCE I WILL BE YOUR MIRROR You lock and load and you jump the gun Superficial competition All alone in the race you run Chasing after something Something that means nothing You'd go to any length do anything Just to be the winner BUT SOONER OR LATER SURROUNDED BY SILENCE YOU'LL COME FACE TO FACE WITH FEAR REVELATION BORN OF VIOLENCE I WILL BE YOUR MIRROR I WILL BE YOUR MIRROR I AM YOU YOU ARE ME Jane: vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drum loop programming Charles

pulling my heart out of me I'm pointed like a knife That's hanging by a thread And when I strike I wound myself instead CLEAR AS GLASS TWICE AS WEAK COLD IS NOT ENOUGH TO SHELTER ME I AM AN ICICLE DON'T WATCH ME FALL I wish that I was strong Impossible to break As thick-skinned as a January lake But sometimes ice is thin And easy to see through Cracking when you least expect it to CLEAR AS GLASS TWICE AS WEAK COLD IS NOT ENOUGH TO SHELTER ME I AM AN ICICLE DON'T WATCH ME FALL Jane: electric guitar, vocals Charles Bernal: bass Eric Skodis: drums Luke Tierney: electric guitar, electric 12 string guitar Petra Haden: all background vocals Tom Caffey: keyboards © 2000 Wiedlin/Caffey/Forbes THE GOOD WIFE It was always easy to blame you When things seemed to fall apart But now I know where evil dwells In my heart Because I'm sweet on the outside and rotten within Polite on the edges and mean in between And the harder I try the lower I go You don't know I AM ACCUSTOMED TO HAVING A HUSBAND AND I AM THE QUEEN OF MY SAFE LITTLE LIFE I HAD A ROUTINE BUT I'VE GOTTEN SO BAD AT PLAYING THE GOOD WIFE Now I know I won't be a mother Now I see I make a bad wife It's obvious I'll always be Trouble and strife Because I'm sweet on the outside and rotten within Polite on the edges and mean in between And the harder I try the lower I go You don't know I AM ACCUSTOMED TO HAVING A HUSBAND AND I AM THE QUEEN OF MY SAFE LITTLE LIFE I HAD A ROUTINE BUT I'VE GOTTEN SO BAD AT PLAYING THE GOOD WIFE I NEED I NEED A MIRACLE A MIRACLE Jane: vocals, 12 string electric guitar Charles Bernal: bass

HE'S NOT TALKING He's not talking And I don't know why And no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get past that wall He's not talking at all He looks weary And it makes me sad To see him so torn between me And the dreams that he had He's not talking at all THIS SILENCE IS KILLING US BOTH ONE BY ONE CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT IT'S DOING TO YOU WHAT IT'S DOING TO ME THIS QUIET BETWEEN US IS SETTING US UP FOR A FALL YOU'RE NOT TALKING TO ME YOU'RE NOT TALKING AT ALL He seems distant In another place I can't read that look on his face Could I once? It's hard to recall He's not talking at all He's not smiling I remember when It was easy to make him laugh Over and over again He's not talking at all Jane: vocals Matthew Sweet: vocals Luke Tierney: electric guitar, fuzzy bass Tom Caffey: keyboards © 2000 Wiedlin/Hanley MY LOVELY REVENGE Shiny hair and a perfect body A great life where everyone adores me Killer boyfriend, big fancy car And a mansion made for a movie star You'll regret it that you blew it And I'll make sure that you knew it And till I get more than enough Be scheming still be dreaming of MY LOVELY REVENGE MY LOVELY REVENGE Accumulating more and more stuff Without neglecting inside and up above Advancing the spiritual Not forgetting my intellectual Till I become the perfect combination The paragon of a generation You'll be sorry of course you will When you see me completely fulfilled MY LOVELY REVENGE MY LOVELY REVENGE Everything you want/Everything you need/Everything you hope for I'll be Everything I want/everything I need/Everything I get will be...
