Bring Your Own Stereo

Jimmie's Chicken Shack Bring Your Own Stereo Lyrics
1.30 Days

If i don't kid myself today
If i don't care about a thing
Would i be light enough to fly
And if i just rid myself
The weight of memories and doubts
Would i be light enough to fly

If the world was flat would you jump off
I think i'd float down like a feather
She lights the stars in the sky
You know, angels can see them clear
Through foul weather

And when the race ends
Will we all fall down
Safe and sound

30 days

As she wakes up
And i'm caught staring again
She asks me
"what did you dream?"

I haven't stopped and isn't this part of it
As we lay rivers where once were streams

And when the race ends
Will we all fall down
Safe and sound

If we lost our way
Would we trade it now
For the way we found
The ground
And how

30 days
Without the sun
30 days
Just a little scared of what might become
And we're home when we're together
Home when we're together
We are home when we're together
30 days


2.Do Right

Won't make the bed up straight
I always stay out late
I never take you out
Ask what you're all about
I always smell like smoke
Everythings just a joke
I never look at you
When you come hear me sing
These are not all of the
Many simple things
You can find wrong with me
Once would you tell me please
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
I never talk to you
Be who you want me to
My music's way to loud
My friends are all so proud
Say i'm just wasted hope

I could not thread the rope
More than my pocket's broke
And you don't see a ring
These are not all of the
Infinitesimal things
You can find wrong with me
Once would you tell me please
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
Never wanted to play in this game
Yes, you're right
But losing the game doesn't mean
That we're losing the fight
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
What do i do, what do i do
What do i do, what do i do...right
*what do i do...right what do i do
*wont make the bed up straight
*i always stay out/great
*but what do i do
What do i do that is right


3.Face It

I don't know if i can get it right
I never put up a fight
I have hard time seeing what is wrong
Sure doesn't take you long
We know there's something better here
Won't fall victim to all your fears
And the dreams they keep on coming
Knife to your throat underwater running
Face it
The sweetness that's on your tongue
You just can't taste it
We're subject to change
And some feelings won't go away
They won't go away

Could you please tell me what i think is right
Why even put up a fight
I don't think there's anything that's wrong
Don't think you think that strong

Feeling now so much pressure here
Don't think you would want to get too near
All the dreams that you gave up running
Knife in my back as you turn

But will you face it
Your reason's not out of reach
Still you chase it
You think it's better to prey than preach
But it won't go away
It won't go away
That empty heart in you
It won't go away
With every thought of you
It won't go away
It won't go away
My only problem is i won't go away
The only problem is it won't go away
Until we face it


4.Fill In The Blank

You could love this
It's just a little word
You take it out on occasion when it's necessary
We could believe this and lead our hearts astray
Stilnd there are some that say
It doesn't matter anyway
So stay down if you fall
Or find it so unnecessary
To think big or walk tall
You understand me but to the contrary

We could annul this
Such a dirty world
You leave me now
For an invasion that's more than temporary
If we could live here and play the part today
Still there'd be some who'd say
Nothing matters anyway

So stay down if you fall
I find it so unnecessary
To think thin and talk small
True understanding never seemed to carry
Another blow to the head
We could learn to play dead
And fill in the blank

We could achieve bliss if we start today
Or we could play dead and learn to take it instead
Another blow to the head

And you can fill in the blank
I find it so unnecessary to fill in the blank
The answer's always temporary
Fill in the blank
Up close, beauty is far from scary
Can't fill in the blank


5.Lazyboy Dash

I'm a lazy boy
There's no doubt about it
Might take a miracle
To get me started
Don't get me started
Don't get me started again
Son you better get up
You better get up while can

I make a dash in the lazy boy hundred
I start out slow but i lean back and pull you under it
The say the competition lags behind precision wasting
Don't need a rear view
I know it's my smoke they are tasting

Damn another tragic jam
I know i'm s'posed to use my brake
So on the gas i slam

You better get up
You better get up while you can

Employed to crash the lazy boy hundred
Don't need no luck we aim to suck just for the fun of it
They say you can't be kind tso don't you bother wasting
Your precious energy is victoyry for they're tasting

I said damn another crack pot scam
I thought that things wre going great
Now that i;m on the lamb
Damn another bunt grand skam
I think it's time to celebrate
Now that we rule the land

Wou better get up while you can
I'm a lazy boy
There's no doubt about it
Might take a miracle
To get me started
I'm a miracle
There's no doubt about it
Might take a lazy girl
To get me started
Don't get me started again
Don't get me started
Son you better get up
You better get up while you can


6.Lets Get Flat

To say that everything i knew was just a lie
A love a hope a dream
Well what was it to you
You can hold it in when you live
But it comes out when you die
The travesty of truth
The liberty of lies
I see three sides to coin
As i flip it past my eye
Toss from hand to hand
You pick heads and i choose sides
And you scream tails fool
Tales
Well i've got a few that would pertain
It seems my love is much like a coin
It lives through many needless exchanges
Somehow it's shape i still sustain
Somehow this shape i still sustain

Let's get flat
To say that everything i knew was just a lie


7.Ooh

Ooh
Looking out
Push the button
Don't make the grade boy
Don't ask for nothing
Stupid people
Think it's funny
Dropping these bombs boy
Looks who keeps on running
I found a girl
Not that nothing pleases
She wants that i should be
Exactly all that she says
I make her lazy
She makes me strong
She won't believe ot
'til she hears it in a song

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Another night that kills
The music heals
Bring your own stereo
They smoke banana peels
You're going crazy
But you don't care
I left directions
So i guess i'll meet you there

Calendar girl
Got something for jesus
She want to pass him off
As subject for her thesis
He makes her crazy
She thinks he's wrong
I don't know what i think
'til i put it in a song

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Entertainers
We sleep 'til dawn
We've got computers
We leave 'em on
Live in castles
The richest bums
We eat for free in town
Wile smoking up the lawn

Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


8.Pure

If i saw myself today
With a different set of eyes
If i sold myself to you
Would it be wise
When you've paved out all the lies
Finalize the words that you say

Like i'm not breathing
Whole
If i'm falling
In

I'm just stumbling through my life
By myself

And i sometimes realize
That we have nothing left to save
Still i've never felt this high
And through fortune lights your way
It will never be pure

Promises
Promises
Promises
You and your promises

All i ever really need is you
All i ever really needed was pure in you
In you i'm pure


9.Silence Again

Silence again
Save me from thinking
Why don't you open inside
When you open your eyes
Is it part of some game
Save me from sleeping
What's the true meaning of win
When i've lost my towel

Ignore these thoughts
Retrace my steps
My spirit's lost a thousand bets
I won't deny circumstance
Gets greater and harder
I'm just beginning to see
That i'm slowly going bling
And it's not part of some mystery
To be left behind
Silence again
Save me from keeping
This violence within


10.Spiraling

If i get my feet back on the ground
There's some things i'll take advantage of
And once i get my feet back on the ground
There's some things i won't ignore
You put fear in the place of strength
When sometimes crooked roads would better suit you
Feeling still remains
Somehow i know i'll still get over you
But lately i've been lost inside your song
Could it be forever is just a bit to long
I should've known better
Then to stare into the sun
Spiraling an ocean-size teardrop
Where will it take me now
Where will it take me now

You're fear in the face of strength
I guess spinning 'round
Till dizzy better suits you
So cling onto your blame
At least i hold a place inside of you

Won't give up i'll get back on my feet again
To get up and get knocked on my feet again
Connecting your foot to my seat and then
Prepare for it to repeat again
'cause it will repeat again
'cause it's just repeating

Spiraling away admist the gloom
Spiraling the day's impending doom
Where will it take me
Spiraling away
Or will it take me
Spiraling the daze with spare to room
Where will it take me
Now


11.String Of Pearls

She want a string of pearls
All i got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
Yeah while i'm at i t guess i'll take another bath man
And the records out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for the next new phase
Another stupid craze

She want a string of pearls
All i got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She's gonna make me pay for it
I start to sing and cry and then it makes me laugh man

Yeah we've all got doubts
Might not be winning but still in the race
And in a moment's notice
We'll be ready for her next new face
It might be hard to sell
Still never giving in
Have i given...so deep...oh..well

Will you give it all to me when you're dead
You can keep the scent on my pillow
To settle your broken heart in head

Will you think of me when you die
Holding steady
Moment's notice
Again she left with my heart in hand

She says she hates me
Yeah she's lied before
Again it's time to play me
Yeah it just adds up
That same sad melodic score

I wrote another one
Does this one count
And did it cost as much as all the other ones
So much more..

She want a string of pearls
All i got her was a necklace
Made of flowers from the trash can
She wanna make me pay for it
Yeah while i'm at i t guess i'll take another bath man

Yeah the record's out
Holding steady gaining on last place
And in a moments notice
We'll be ready for her next new face
So i state my case

Would you want a string of pearls
'cause all i got you was a necklace
Made of flowers from a trash can
And she want a string of pearls
Ain't that enough, ma'am?
I think it's worth so much more


12.Trash

a simple formula
Music and love
Screw yourself
Forgetting all of the above
If we can't join the fools
Maybe we'll beat them
If you're not playing ball
Then you can eat them
An easy lay
Yeah there's no such luck
With such a little brain
How can i talk so much?
She said get it straight
Or get it gone
You're not the only one
Who can make me cum

Tell your mom to stop calling me
Don't lift your leg on my family tree
Auf weidersehen (ah, my) mon amie
Just tell your mom to stop calling me
Trash

We're piling up in the corner
Can't clean the mess in me
I tried to warn her
But you can't blame the kids
For what they're born into
Still it just maks me sick
To take a whiff of you
Another stupid game
We'll just make up the rules
As we go along
Makes us so dull we drool
And it's a bitter taste
But you'll get used to it
Just try it on for size
That stinky shoe that fits

And tell your mom to stop calling me
And get your axe out of the stump of my family tree
If this is real then i don't think i want to be
Just tell your mom to stop calling me
Trash

But they sure don't make 'em like they used to
Swimmin' in cesspools ready for the bargain bin
I may not wanna but i guess i'll have to choose
To stay alive or jump right in
So i guess i'll have to jump right in
I'm gonna jump right in
Come on and jump right in

And tell your mom to stop calling me
Trash (4x)
Tell your mom takes one to know one
Trash
Tell your mom to stop stealing my
Stash
Tell your mom to stop sending me
Cash
Tell your mom i'm on the radio
Trash


13.Waiting

Waiting
For you
Patiently hoping
Your feelings might change
Breathing
For me now
Guess i'm coping
But at least i'm feeling
Don't take it for what you see
'cause it could be worse
Explosion to fade out
Cut to a girl lying motionless in the sand
Wondering what we're about
Surround now the sound of wings softly pushing air
I want to know how flying feels
As we run with the seasons, you change
While i'm standing here
Waiting for you
All too often we doubt
Something so true
It leaves us naked where we stand
I saw your breath make a cloud
Raining an ocean of your preciousness in my hand
I think i know how dying feels
And if this is all just a dream
What's one more year
Waiting for you
I'm breathing for you
What a price to pay
To want to know how flying feels
You want to know how flying feels
I think i know how dying feels
'cause i'm still
Waiting for you
Facing that i'm slowly dying here
Waiting for you
Breathing for you
And that's why i'm slowly dying here
Can't you see that's my least of fears
