Marvelous 3 Floyds Lyrics
1.The Shower Scene

Believe it or not, i'm walking on air.
I never thought i could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
(cough, cough)
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.


2.Superman

(butch walker and chrystina lloree)

Make no mistake, i've spent hours and days,
Just to find whose responsible for this mess.
I've walked around for hours, getting' bitten' by the spiders.
And the snakes are crawlin' over my chest.

On the front lawns of america the papers they all read,
Gas prices are rising high and superman is dead.

As i opened the door and looked at my mother,
Even stovetop stuffing ain't gonna change my mind.
I'll talk to you tomorrow or maybe next sunday depending on what
i find.

On the front lawns of america the papers they all read,
Your kids are on heroin and superman is dead.

Maybe it's time i start looking for another.
And pretend a new hero is always going to save the day.
So when i feel like i'm falling off another tall building,
There'll be someone there to catch me faster than a speeding
train.

On the front lawn of america the papers they all read,
California is sinking and superman is dead.

On the front lawns of america the papers they all read,
The psychic network is saving our souls and superman is dead.
On the front lawns of america the papers they all read,
Your kids are on heroin and superman is dead.


3.Talk

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

I met you where the walls were velvet.
Slingin' chili in a corset.
Makin' love to every face that walked into the room.
It was never my intention to put your service on suspension.
But i wanted what was flaunted by no matter whom.

Oooh, oh no.
Here i go again i'm crazy.
Oooh, oh no.

Let's not talk about religion or about no evolution.
Let's not talk about the big bang.
Or about no air pollution.
I don't care about your habbits,
If all that i've heard is true.
I don't wanna talk until we're through.

You're kinda like a cartoon mirror.
Talking to me makes me shiver.
Water beadin' down your side onto the hardwood floor
I have to scold my dog because he licks it off the floor,
Before i even get a chance to taste a little for myself.

My head's spinnin' from the liquor,
That you bought from the bartender.
So excuse me if my center focus is just a little warped.
But you've got my full attention,
And i've got the best intentions.
If you'll only keep the deep stuff lyin' on the floor.


4.So Small

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

I just got on my plane today,
I don't know when i'm coming back.
Maybe a day or two, maybe a day or two.
I'm drivin' two hundred miles,
And haven't left the culdesac.
I'm feeling stuck like glue, i'm feeling stuck like glue.

(chorus)

I can wash my face, i can dress for real.
I can act like i'm cool, like it's no big deal.
As i stare at the clock, &til the paint starts to peel.
I wonder what you're doin' right now.
I like to ride the ferris wheel, just to see how it feels.
Spinning round and around, then crashing to the ground.
Don't think i'm weird at all, it's just i feel so small.
When you start coming around, and i give up my crown.

(chorus)

I never get the hellos, i never get goodbyes (goodbye)
I never want to run and hide.


5.By The Way

Did you come back here to shoot this poison in my eye?
Do i get a last request before i have to die?
Let me smoke my cigarette before you hang me out to dry.
Just get back in your chariot and head on down the road.
Get back to the battle scars of doing what your told.
Get back to the life you lost, i'm sorry i was such a heavy
load.

(by the way) i did it all for you.
(by the way) i'll scream until i'm blue.
(by the way) get the ghost out of my head.

Did you know that i climbed up atop a shopping mall?
Did you know that i screamed to the people i was small?
So everyone, just go ahead, ignore me while i take a fall.

So take back all the words that put these lines upon my face.
Take back all the records that i borrowed from your place.
Sorry if their broken, i was carrying them when i fell from
grace.


6.Waiting For The Train

Don't mean nothing, when the mirror breaks and the phone flies
across the room.
Don't mean nothing, when you walk away when you say that you
hate me too.
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time?
I think it's getting to you.
Don't mean nothing, guess i'll lay on the tracks and i'll wait
on the 5:02.

On and on and on and on, (thoughts just keep on passing by)
Don't mean nothing, when the taxi man pulls away cause i ain't
like him.
Don't mean nothing, when i can't get laid cuz my body ain't so
trim.
Kind of sick and tired of always trying so hard to fit a square
into a little round hole.
Don't mean nothing, guess i'll lay on the tracks and wait for
the 5:04.

(chorus)

Don't mean nothing, when i look around and compassion is all i
see.
Don't mean nothing, when all these things they don't mean shit
to me.
Kinda sick and tired of feeling sorry for myself and never sorry
for the alcohol.
Don't mean nothing, guess i'll sit by the tracks and wait on the
train after all.

(chorus)


7.Ohio River

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

When i woke up in the morning my lover was gone.
I had a voice in my head 20 feet long.
Ohio river's where you need to go.
That's where they took a jump to save their soul.

The banks are sketchy and they're covered in clay.
So be careful where you walk and be careful what you say.
Cuz the people are listening to everything you do.
And they wont think twice about sinking you.

This is where we hide.
Down on the bottom, down on the bottom.
Well the water is kinda zoomy and my head is full of mud.
And the skies are always gloomy forming rainy clouds.
And the voices get closer with every step you take.
Closer to the edge, that's where you'll break.

Well your looks a little strange and you look a little red.
Were you careful where you walked?
And were you careful what you said?
Back to the river is where you need to go.
That's where i took a jump to save my soul.


8.Dismembered Love Song

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

Desperation's such an uneasy feeling,
Passion is the path that leads me here.
Controllin' the mind is easier than the heart.
I see a goodbye in your eyes yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cut my legs off, i will still chase you,
I will still hunt you down.
I will still chase you,
I will still hunt you down.

There's a bright fire inside of me.
It's burnin' hotter and spreadin' wider.
Frustrating a mind, only to find
It's destroying what mattersyeah, yeah, yeah.

Cut my arms off, i will still hold you,
I will still hunt you down.
I will still hold you.
I will still hunt you down.

Can't you see this misery that i'm flaunting?
And the song that i'm humming?
Humming, humming, humming

Cut my eyes out and i will still look at you.
I will still hunt you down.
I will still look at you.
I will still hunt you down.
I will still chase you.
I will still hunt you down, down, down.
I will still hold you,
I will still hunt you down, yeah.
Down, down, down, alright.


9.Sharkskin Redemption

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

So many ways to come and go.
So many faces i should know.
Being down with a sharkskin redemption.
Wanting to be the man on a mission, yeah, oh yeah.

He wants the $100 cufflinks,
She wants a plastic covered love seat.
And together they have everything,
But they don't know, they don't know
(what it's like on the other side, other side)

Sporting the grease at the red light lounge.
Johnny and ricco got the coolest do's in town, oh yeah.

Rosalinda sits and waits on johnny b. good.
Hundred dollar hair and nails so she can look good.
He ain't coming and she wants to die.
But it don't show, it don't show
(what it's like on the other side, other side)

A hundred years have passed the price of gas hasn't changed,
The style ain't what it used to be.
What used to be considered cool is now just a joke.
Somebody pull my ass from this dream.

(what, you wanna bet? we'll kill him.)

They don't know, they don't know
(what it's like on the other side, other side)


10.Buckhead

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

Well the shit town people drive their shiny cars,
But they have to use their wipers all the time.
When the flavor of the day, comes to play,
They all spend their $50 and stand in line.

Let me up, i don't want no more.
I tried to beg, but my knees got sore.
Let me up, i don't want no more.
Can't walk the walk with all the splinters in the floor.
Let me up, i don't want no more.
Tried to fake it, but my knees got sore, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I feel the stares from their blood shot eyes.
But, i've have to keep on walking, act like i'm blind.
If their lives are perfect anyway,
Then why are they always reaching for chunks of mine?

(chorus)

Do you really want it baby?
(what's your inspiration?)
Would you like to have it baby?
(what's your aggravation?)
Do you really flaunt it baby?
(like marilyn or presley?)
Do you really want it baby?
(my brain is going crazy.)

Well the shit town people drive their shiny cars,
But they have to use their wipers all the time.

(chorus)

(what's your aggravation?)
(what's your inspiration?)
(what's your aggravation?)


11.Game Show

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

So you think you know what time it is,
Then how come you have wasted so much of it on me?
Just take your consolation prize,
Because you never knew what was waiting for you behind door
number 2 or 3.
Taking out the trash don't make you an overnight saint to me.

Welcome to the game show, (welcome to the game)
Hope you win the prize, (hope you win the prize)
Welcome to the game show, (welcome to the game)
You gotta spin the wheel just right, (gotta spin the wheel just
right)

Is that an imitation rolex?
And your bogus english accent ain't foolin' me at all.
Just take your eight track knowledge, yeah,
Start saving your dimes for a waste of time.
For when you go back to school in the fall.

(chorus)

13.**rio**

(butch:we totally grew up listening to bon jovi records,
I mean, just don't tell anybody.)

Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile i suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch the mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the
best.

Her name is rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dustly land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh rio rio dancer across the rio grande

I've seen you on the beach and i've seen you on tv
Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me -
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then i'm sure that you know it's just for you.

(chorus)

- hey now (wow), look at that.
Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive,
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something, i know what you're thinking
I tell you something, i know what you're thinking

(chorus)

Her name is rio and she don't need to understand
And i might find her it i'm looking like i can
Oh rio rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the rio grande
