I heard that you were doing yoga With Uma Thurman's mother Just outside of Woodstock Now you're watering all the flowers You planted with your new girlfriend Outside on the rooftop Just another phase, you're rushing on through Go all New Age, outrunning your blues 50 gleaming chances in a row And I watch you flick them down like dominoes Must feel good being Mr. Start Again I know, know a girl who knows a Another girl who knows the woman that you hurt It's strange to see you smoking marijuana You used to do the most cocaine Of anyone I'd ever met Just another phase, you're shooting on through The whole world changes right around you You get 50 gleaming chances in a row And I watch you flick them down like dominoes Must feel good being Mr. Start Again Yeah, it must feel good being Mr. Start Again Don't get up Yeah, it must feel good being Mr. Start Again

All my life, I've been fighting a war I can't talk to you or your friends It's not only you My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to This will not do 'Cause I was raised up (ah) To be admired (ah) to be noticed (ah) But when you're withdrawn (ah) It's the closest thing (ah) To assault when all eyes are on you This will not do (Ohh) (Oooh...) Ooh... Oooh (Oh, oh)... I'm faking glory Lick my lips, toss my hair And turn the smile on And the story's brand new But I can take it from here I'll find my own bravado It's a switch flipped It's a pill tipped back It's a moon eclipse, oh And I can tell you that When the lights come on I'll be ready for this It's in your bloodstream A collision of atoms that Happens before your eyes It's a marathon run Or a mountain you scaled Without thinking of size I was frightened of every little thing That I thought was out to get me down To trip me up and laugh at me, but I learned not to want the quiet of a room With no one around to find me out I want the applause, the approval The things that make me go, oh (Oh...) Oh... (Ah...) It's a switch flipped It's a pill tipped back It's a moon eclipse, oh And I can tell you that When the lights come on I'll be ready for this It's in your bloodstream A collision of atoms that Happens before your eyes It's a marathon run Or a mountain you scaled Without thinking of size I was frightened of every little thing That I thought was out to get me down To trip me up and laugh at me, but I learned not to want the quiet of a room With no one around to find me out I want the applause, the approval The things that make me go, oh Oh, oh (ah)...

Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough I overthink your punctuation use Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do A rush at the beginning I get caught up, just for a minute But lover, you're the one to blame All that you're doing Can you hear the violence? Megaphone to my chest Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Our thing progresses I call and you come through Blow all my friendships To sit in hell with you But we're the greatest They'll hang us in the Louvre Down the back, but who cares—still the Louvre Okay I know that you are not my type (Still I fall) I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (But what about love?) Nothing wrong with it Supernatural Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting A rush at the beginning I get caught up, just for a minute But lover, you're the one to blame All that you're doing Can you hear the violence? Megaphone to my chest Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom And make 'em all dance to it

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail If being wrong's a crime, I'm servin' forever If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side At the swingin' party down the line Pound the prairie pavement, losin' proposition Quittin' school and goin' to work and never goin' fishing Water all around, I never learned how to swim now If being wrong's a crime, I'm servin' forever If being strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side At the swingin' party down the line At the swingin' party down the line Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party Here it's never ending, can't remember when it started Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail If being wrong's a crime, I'm servin' forever If being strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side At the swingin' party down the line At the swingin' party down the line

Today is my birthday and I'm riding high Hair is dripping, hiding that I'm terrified But this is summer, playing dumber than in fall Everything I say falls right back into everything I'm not in the swing of things But what I really mean is Not in the swing of things yet Riding around on the bikes, we're still sane I won't be her, tripping over onstage Hey, it's all cool I still like hotels, but I think that'll change Still like hotels and my newfound fame Hey, promise I can stay good (Everything feels right) I'm little, but I'm coming for the crown I'm little, but I'm coming for you (Chase paper, get by) I'm little, but I'm coming for the title held by everyone who's up All work and no play Never made me lose it All business, all day Keeps me up a level All work and no play Keeps me on the new shit, yeah All work and no play Let me count the bruises All business, all day Keeps me up a level All work and no play Lonely on that new shit, yeah, yeah Only bad people live to see Their likeness set in stone Only bad people live to see Their likeness set in stone What does that make me? I'm not in the swing of things But what I really mean is Not in the swing of things yet I'm not in the swing of things But what I really mean is Not in the swing of things yet All work and no play Never made me lose it All business, all day Keeps me up a level All work and no play Keeps me on the new shit, yeah

It's a blue day We could jump Bulli When I hit that water When it holds me I think about my father Doing the same thing When he was a boy When he was a boy It's a blue day We could go fishing You'll catch the big one Ah Sliding the knife under the skin Grateful for this offering And all the living things under the sun Under the sun Little brother, I think you're an angel I see your silver chain levitate When you're kickflipping Baby boy, you're super cool I know you're scared, so was I But all will be revealed in time (time, time) Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around? I can make anything real Brain so hot, it's a summer body Every day is blue and never cloudy Don't look down I can make anything real In the future If I have a daughter Will she have my waist Or my widow's peak? My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak? Will she split a tab with her lover? Laugh at the stars like her mother When she was a girl? When she was a girl? Now the cherry-black lipstick's gathering dust in a drawer I don't need her anymore 'Cause I got this power Just had to breathe (breathe out, breathe out, breathe out, breathe out) And tune in (tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in) I just had to breathe (breathe out, breathe out, breathe out, breathe out) And tune in (tune in, tune in, tune in, tune in) I just had to breathe And tune in I just had to breathe And tune in I just had to breathe Oh, was enlightenment found? No, but I'm trying, taking it one year at a time Oh, oh, can you hear the sound? It's shimmering higher On the beach, I'm building a pyre (Use the wood brought in by the tide) I know you'll show me how, I'll know when it's time to Take off my robes and step into the choir
