Ben Folds Five Live Lyrics
11.Narcolepsy(Live At Hitomi Kinen Hall, Tokyo, Japan 2 / 16 / 13)

Lyricist:Ben Folds
Writer(s):Ben Folds

I should warn you
I go to sleep
I know you don't
Know what I mean
Yet
I get upset or happy
I go to sleep

Nothing hurts when
I go to sleep
But I'm not tired
I'm not tired

I know it seems that I don't care
But something in me does I swear
I don't remember all last year
I left you awake to cry the tears

While I was dreaming in the streams
Flowing between the shores
Of joy and sadness
I'm drowning
Save me
Wake me up

I should warn you
I go to sleep
You won't know when I go to sleep
Beause I'm not tired
I'm not tired
I Just sleep


12.Underground(Live At Mielparque Hall, Osaka, Japan 2 / 22 / 13)

Lyricist:Ben Folds
Writer(s):Ben Folds

I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me
and now it's been ten years
I'm still wondering who to be
and I love to mix in circles,
cliques and social coteries,
that's me
hand me my nosering
(can we be happy?)
show me the mosh pit
(can we be happy?)
we can be happy
underground

Who's got the looks?
Who's got the brains?
Who's got everything?
I've got this pain in my heart
that's all
Hey you, with the long
and lonely face
there's gotta be something else
let me tell you something else
there was a girl who passed me by
she gave a smile, but I was shy
and I looked down, so down
Don't look down no no
go go underground
now now there's a place to go
it's the morning now
it's the evening
it's everything
I click my heels and I'm there

CHORUS
Underground, underground, ooh
Everything's heavy underground
you been kicked around
did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground

And we'll be decked
in all black
slamming the pit fantastic
Officer Friendly's little boy's
got a mohawk
and he knows just where
we're coming from
it's industrial
work it underground
get down, get down, get down

CHORUS

we can be happy
we can be happy
we can be happy
underground
oh we can
oh we can
oh we can be
everything's heavy!


13.Tom And Mary(Live At O2 Academy, Bristol, UK 11 / 23 / 12)

Lyricist:Ben Folds

chicka uh chicka uh. . .
for the benefit of Tom and Mary
before our guests arrive
if they haven't found out already
it's gonna blow their minds
will they find the strength
to find the will to testify
that for the benefit of Tom and Mary
there's something we can't hide anymore?

Everybody here knows the story
some with fabricated extra parts
see the sisters shout in whispers
feeding hot air to the sparks
put a damper on the party
it will lighten up this room
but for the benefit of Tom and Mary
we've got to see the truth today

Ms. Suthernson says 'here they come'
and all the chatter and the smiles
they come undone
you could hear a pin drop on the carpet floor
everyone's pretending not to hear them
knocking at the door

For the benefit of Tom and Mary
before our guests arrive
if they haven't found out already
it's gonna blow their minds
haven't found out already
and yet the seams all seem to show
that for the benefit of Tom and Mary
for the benefit of Tom and Mary
for the benefit of Tom and Mary
we gotta let the truth me known, yeah


14.One Angry Dwarf And Two Hundred Solemn Faces(Live At The Warfield,
San Francisco, CA 1 / 31 / 13)

Lyricist:Ben Folds
Writer(s):Ben Folds

by Ben Folds
September '75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said by Christmas I would have
A bad-ass mother G.I. Joe
For your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class

Now I'm big and important
One angry dwarf
Two hundred solemn faces are you
If you really wanna see me
Check your papers and the TV
Look who's telling who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye

Don't give me that bullshit
You know who I am
I'm your nightmare, little man
Vic, you stole my lunch money, made me cry
Jane, remember second grade?
Said you couldn't stand my face
Rather than kiss me
You said you'd rather die

You'll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn't push me around
'Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I'm big
Yes you will be sorry

1,2,3,4
So you wanted
to take a break
slow it down some and
have some space
well fuck you too

Give me my money back
give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget
to give me back my black T-shirt

I wish I hadn't bought you dinner
right before you
dumped me on your front porch

Give me my money back
give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget
to give me back my black T-shirt
hey, hey

So you wanted
to take a break
slow it down some and
have some space

Give me my money back
give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
