"Merry Christmas, Here's To Many More"

"Merry Christmas, Here's To Many More"


I made it through the year and I did not even collapse
Gotta say "Thank God for that"
I'm torn between what keeps me whole and what tears me in half
I'll fall apart or stay intact

With tired eyes I stumble back to bed
I need to realize my sorry life's not hanging by a thread
At least not yet

[Chorus:]
So look at me now
It's finally Christmas and I'm home
Head indoors, to get out of this weather
And I don't know how
But the closest friends I've ever known are all inside
Singing together
Singing merry Christmas, here's to many more

It always hurt to be all by myself this time of year
A cold and lonely Christmas Eve
And living out my days alone
Well that had been my deepest fear
But you promised you won't leave

I look towards the east and see a star
Jesus Christ has blessed my life to know just who you are
You are my hope

[Chorus:]
So look at me now
It's finally Christmas and I'm home
Head indoors, to get out of this weather
And I don't know how
But the closest friends I've ever known are all inside
Singing together
Singing merry Christmas, here's to many more

Deck the halls with mistletoe
May all your heavy burdens go
Up the chimney in a cloud of smoke
The fire's burning bright
Strike up the band and play the tune
'Cause Christmas will be here and soon
You'll hear our song in every room
This merry Christmas night

Singing merry Christmas, here's to many more

fa la la la
fa la la la

Singing merry Christmas, here's to many more

"Mood Rings"

"Mood Rings"


we all know the girls that i am talking about
well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow up
and they'll blow up; we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them

and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...

she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so happy it's depressing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"

if it's drama you want then look no further
they're like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
and it just kills me how they get away with murder
they'll anger you then bat their eyes; those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize

and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...

she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"

cause when it's black (it) means watch your back because you're probably
the last person in the world right now she wants to see
and when it's blue it means that you should call her up immediately
and ask her out because she'll most likely agree
and when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
and when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (and that's all right i must confess)

we all know the girls that i am talking about
she liked you wednesday but now it's friday and she has to wash her hair
and it just figures that we'll never figure them out
first she's jekyll and then she's hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair

mood ring oh mood ring
oh tell me will you bring
the key to unlock this mystery
of girls and their emotions
play it back in slow motion
so i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

[speaking:]
heh...that's terrible

"More Than Useless"

"More Than Useless"


I feel like, I would like
To be somewhere else doing something that matters
And I'll admit here, while I sit here
My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather

Whats the purpose? It feels worthless
So unwanted like I've lost all my value
I can't find it, not in the least bit
and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you

And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me

I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

So I say if I can't, do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial, that life could give me will
Measure up to what might have replaced it

Too late look, my date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet, that regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run

And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all
But then you assure me

I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I’m a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once

I notice, I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it, I spent it
Convincing myself the world's doing just fine
Without me
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time , it's my life
And my right, to use it like I should
Like he would, for the good
Of everything that I would ever know

I'm a little more than useless
When I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I’m a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna the day, gonna be the day
That I would do something right
Do something right for once

"Mountaintop"

"Mountaintop"


I glued back together the broken pieces of a vase you found
Out back of some old abandoned church in a town I don't remember the name
In the middle of Maine where you came to meet my family
And we raked blueberries into buckets, and I drove reckless in the rain
And it wasn't the slightest bit romantic
I guess that's what makes it so
I can't say how much you mean to me

Up on a mountain top
Down by the dark blue sea
I can't say how much you mean to me
Open my mouth to talk
But I can hardly speak
I can't say

Sitting on a window, a bluebird on it, nothing in it
There's a piece we never found but I think that's what makes it perfect
And so to put it into words, I can't put it into words
No, I can't say it, how much you mean to me

Up on a mountain top
Down by the dark blue sea
I can't say how much you mean to me
Open my mouth to talk
But I can hardly speak
I can't say

There's something in your eyes
A secret I must keep
I can't say how much you mean to me
Like trying to describe
Impossibility
I can't say

Some might say "euphoric"
No, there's really no words for it
When a smile grows across your face
Like pieces of a broken vase
Everything falls into place

I can't say

Up on a mountain top
Down by the dark blue sea
I can't say how much you mean to me
Open my mouth to talk
But I can hardly speak
I can't say

There's something in your eyes
A secret I must keep
I can't say how much you mean to me
Like trying to describe
Impossibility
I can't say

"Mrs. Hippopotamuses'"

"Mrs. Hippopotamuses'"


(O-H! I-O!)
I owe it to ya, there's nothing better than knowing where you come from
(Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!)
(O-H! I-O!)
(Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!)

I grew up in the sticks small town, Erie Canal
Tuscarawas Valley, class clowns, and dairy cows
Sometimes we know it's getting better than it is right now

We're living simple, there's a chance to let it all take place
And watch the light around you, shed some life upon your face
I wish it didn't take me all this time to figure it out

(O-H-I-O!)
Now everybody say, "Let's hear it for the Cleveland Browns."
Before the Cuyahoga River burns the whole downtown
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away
(O-H-I-O!)
They do karate while we're setting up and checking the sound
Someone singing along with Rivers "it ain't so, you say"
Sandusky summertime is only 45 minutes away

(O-H! I-O!)
(Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!)
(O-H! I-O!)
There's nothing better than knowing where you come from
(Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!)

I'm watching generation two grow up and graduate
There's all this light around you, oh how you radiate
But oh, what you gonna do, oh no, what you gonna do

We're living simple, there's a chance to let it all take place
And watch the light around you, shed some life upon your face
I swear I feel it in me, I'm telling you it's true

(O-H-I-O!)
Now everybody say, "Let's hear it for the Cleveland Browns."
Before the Cuyahoga River burns the whole downtown
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away
(O-H-I-O!)
Mrs. Hippopamuses' otter waterpark admission
We'll ride the roller coasters over every holiday
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away

(O-H! I-O!)
Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!
(O-H! I-O!)
I owe it to ya, there's nothing better than knowing where you come from.
(Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!)

"Must Have Done Something Right"

"Must Have Done Something Right"


[Verse 1]
We should get jerseys cause we make a good team
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league
And I know that it's so cliche to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
Everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
It's Jealously, they can see that we've got it going on

[Pre-chorus]
And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You're OK with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

[Chorus]
If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I must've done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must've done something right
I must've done something right

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm just lucky cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me
And I know that it's so cliche to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on

[Pre-chorus]
And I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know your more to me than what I know how to say
You're OK with the way this is going to be
This is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

[Chorus x3]
If anyone can make me a better person you could
All I gotta say is I must've done something good
I came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must've done something right
I must've done something right

"My Cape Is Stuck In The Phone Booth"

"My Cape Is Stuck In The Phone Booth"


What do I do
That amounts to
anything at all
wake me if I fall... asleep

My goals are what
they should be but
my mind will have to change
and see things another way

I'll be Taken a bull by the horns
take the action in this world
Jumping into the ring
and take control of everything

The blame im not thinking thats me of course
I look in the mirror and I see the source
spot my problems going to change my ways
I need Gods love I need his grace
i'm going to chage my ways- yeah yeah today

once again
I've fallen into sin
its like quicksand around my soul
the more I struggle the stronger it holds
onto me i want to be free
want to be able to see
that theres another way
if I check myself to day I want to

take a bull by the horns
take some action in this world
Jumping into the ring
and take control of everything

The blame im not thinking thats me of course
I look in the mirror and I see the source
spot my problems going to change my ways
I need Gods love I need his grace
i'm going to chage my ways- yeah yeah today

"My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend"

"My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend"


When he was seeing her
You could see he had his doubts
And now he's missing her
Because he knows he's missing out
Now it's haunting him
The memories like a ghost
He's so terrified
Cause no one else even comes close

He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend

So then, along comes me,
This undeserving mess (undeserving mess)
Who would believe my life
Would be so blessed (life would be so blessed)
Two years ago
He left all that debris (left all that debris)
Who would of known
He would leave everything I need

He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend

If it wasn't for him
I would still be searching
If it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know my best friend
If it wasn't for him
He would be able to see
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy as me

When she and I settle down you can bet
That he is going to have to settle for less
He's someone that I would hate to be
I got the girl and he's left with just the memory.

He's a guy that you should feel sorry for
He had the world but he thought that he wanted more
I owe it all to the mistake he made back then
I owe it all to my girl's ex-boyfriend

If it wasn't for him
I would still be searching
If it wasn't for him
I wouldn't know my best friend
If it wasn't for him
He would be able to see
If it wasn't for him
He would be as happy as me

"My Girlfriend"

"My Girlfriend"


Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her.
Go up to her and say you're a believer.
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile.
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.

Because... Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.
Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again.
Marylin Manson ate my girlfriend.
She once believed in the truth, now she belives in sin.

She denies God when she has the chance to live for him.
The thought of it makes me cringe.
Her future looks dim.
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple.
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.

"My Good Friend Charles"

"My Good Friend Charles"


New boy in the neighborhood
Lives down stairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me.
Like he's one of the family.

Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.

Charles, I love you,
Love you till the end.
And I love Buddy,
Cause he's your best friend.
Let's go hang out,
You me and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor.
And maybe you can hook me up
With the girl that's from Baywatch
And on your show.
