Mad Brilliant lyrics

I don't mean to sound mean,
When I talk about the day.
I believed every single
Word she said,
But things changed, like she changed
Something's not the same
Found the things she said and didn't do
Were never true cause

She's a liar
That won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind
She didn't break me,
She said - can't you see
We could never be
Because you're crazy

So you caught me all alone
Did you think I'd care at all
Now I'm sitting by the phone
Waiting for you to call
It rang a million times
Before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile
Saying now I'm stuck
The effervencent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions
Well they did me in

Who was I to think to tell
You drove her to uh oh oh
Fake plastic trees are dead

She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?

She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings,
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day

Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
of a girl named Valerie.
She got a XXX rating
and maybe someday she'd have married me.
But, she was born to keep me waiting.
Her name was Valerie.

With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my hooks into you.

Over a recent complication
I came to find that she'd tired of me.

The sun no longer shines on your side
Remember this cold
When the fog won't lift in your town
And you turn old
I heard you killed your only friend last year
You're such a disease
You can buy your other friends
But you can't buy me

Disarm, can you hear the British ambulance
Breaking down, trick, bomb still goes
Tick tick time on by, watching me explode

When did I create you?

[Line-up for the night is announced followed by boos and jeers from the audience]
Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to have fun?
Take on buried treasure
I could be the one...
Hear me, out here... hear me, out.
I can't describe
Just can't subscribe
I'm telling visions
Glad to be alive
You say I can't relate to you
Some things I need to prove
Can't find the right words to use

I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger
This would make more sence, in another time
Not in America where we're westernized
But if we were, what would I do
What would I have said to what we've gone through?

War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why i'd never tell

Are we done for now,
Or is this for good,
Will there be something in time?
With us there should.
Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone

So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It always makes me wonder
If you save it all for me

Maybe you do
Maybe you don't
Maybe you should
Probably wont...

I don't think you know my name
And I think you'd leave me standin in the rain
You're a pretty little girl got a thing for me
But you'd cut me open and let me bleed
But I'll be looking at you with your long brown hair
Pretty little feet, sparkling everywhere
You look so good when you come my way
But I have to look down when you talk to me

'Cause your dangerous,
Your Dangerous

Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman...
I know he knows you look up to him,
but you don't visit his sleep,

We are bitter opposites, it stings when you hit
Me like a kick to the head when I heard what you said
Did you even consider, you are making us bitter
I guess you're justified, because of your weak mind
When our lips first met, you didn't get the hang of it
I bet that you still kiss like me,
you realize it when you hear this

You have managed to steer clear, for yet another whole year

What is this crap I'm going through?
Where am I at and who are you?
To make me feel like I'm so scared
Caught me off-guard, was not prepared

For you
So smart, so cool
To me
Life seems it shouldn't be this way

So here I am and there you are
Sitting so close, feeling so far
From me, and I can't figure this out
What I should say, what's this all about?

To you
Too smart, too cool
For me

In, I'm falling in,
I didn't want to,
Not so fast boy,
Slow
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Get her a pretty box
You'd better fill it.

Chorus : And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking at the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes,
And she just looks at me
And smiles
And smiles, smiles, smiles.

So there we go again,
And it feels so good,

It's not fair, y'know
When you're the only one in tune
It's not fair, my love
When you're broken hearted too
It's not fair anymore...

All the schemes that you dream about
Won't matter at all when you wake up alone
And if she really haunts you now
Just pick up the phone...
But you know you won't

It's not fair, y'know
When you're the only one in tune
It's not fair, my love

I dont mind you coming here
wasting all my time.
Coz when your standing oh so near
I kinda loose my mind. yeh

Its not the perfume that you wear
Its not the ribbon in your hair
I dont want you coming here
Wasting all my time

I dont mind you hanging out
or talking in your sleep
Doesn't matter where you been
As long as it was deep. yeh
We don't know you very well
Look so handsome I can tell

I don't care what people're gonna say about it,
I just wanna sit here and drink your sweet wine.
Know they're gonna say you're too young for me
But think if I kiss you that would be just fine.

Know how it's gonna end before it even starts now,
Gonna give me love sweeter than pie.
Part your lips if you're gonna kiss me,
Say a word that's gonna break me.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, goodbye

I'm driving in your car
I turn on the radio
You're pulling me close
I just say no
I say I don't like it
But you know
I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Fire
Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you
But you know
I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Fire
You got a hold on me
Right from the start
A grip so tight
I couldn't tear it apart
