1.Bathroom Laughter
bathroom laughter leads to kitchen crying
don't make me say i told you so
bathroom laughter leads to kitchen crying
trust me now, soon you'll know
you're in the kitchen crying
you're in the kitchen crying
i heard you in the kitchen crying
you're in the kitchen crying
you're in the kitchen crying
i can tell by your eyes, you were crying
dancefloor touching leads to hallway screaming
it happened just an hour ago
dancefloor touching leads to hallway screaming
if those were your friends, where'd they go
you're in the hallway screaming
yeah you're in the hallway screaming
you're causing a scene with your yelling
you're in the hallway screaming
yeah you're in the hallway screaming
people trying to get by, but you're screaming
i'm sorry but you're not special
there's a pattern and it shows
you try walking on the ceiling
and you're gonna stub your toes
2.Chain Worker
i am a chain worker
caught in an infinite loop, like a skipping compact disc
my chain provides me with safety
we always know where i am
there's nowhere i can go, where i can't be found
i drink my alcohol deep into the core of my bones
until it completely dissolves
and i cry red, angry tears that no one sees
sometimes mistaken for blood
yeah she worries for me, when i'm out at night alone
but it's that dark, humid walk home that welcomes me most
3.Romanticize Me
so you wanna tell me that i'm lazy？
i'm really just your laid-back man
so you're trying to find where the spark went？
well i'll get around to that when i can
take all my faults and twist them in your head
'til i look like a sweet and thoughtful man
romanticize me
so you're waiting, wondering when i'll wake up？
when it comes to sleeping, i'm a talented man
you wish i'd whisper that i love you？
just imagine it's there in everything i am
take all my faults and twist them in your head
'til i look like a sweet and thoughtful man
romanticize me
if you're trying to feel better
there's one thing you can do
take all of your dreams, and pretend they came true
see i'm really kind of wonderful
it's all about the way you choose to view it
so you should be really thankful
when i say, 'come on, let's do it!'
4.Vain In Costume
vain in costume, it's so good to be me
at least as long as i am looking like someone else
it's true - not talking about you
i'm trying to create a brand new state of being
that's me - or at least what you see
or maybe just what i'm willing to give
'cause this is all i wanna be, and i know i can do it
trust me - i've found the perfect way to be
smiling - at all the reactions i receive
my pleasure - i swear it's not you, it's me
tempting - to stay right here and never leave
vain in costume, like something from a dream
finally become my own celebrity
i'm he, a freak that's so obscene
they haven't figured out an insult that fits me
so free, i wear it to a T, even if i can't quite pay for it
not really - it ain't cheap, but maybe i'm still worth it
trust me - i've found the perfect way to be
smiling - at all the reactions i receive
my pleasure - i swear it's not you, it's me
tempting - to stay right here and never leave
vain in costume, restricted but so free
it takes a disguise to reveal the real me
5.You're Different
well there's a million people across the land
but trying to meet them gets out of hand
so i'll put my info up on the 'net
to see what kinda friends i can get
i figure - it's worth it
self-photo - a sure fit
poke or wink - that's flirting
check me out - go surfing
and now i'm out there, feeling right
let's see who gets in touch tonight
yeah it seemed like time for a strategy change
set me stats and set my range
pull out the bad, amplify the good
perfection's arrived, as it should
now two strangers - conversing
no chance to rehearse it
long goodbye - i'm cursing
no call back - it's hurting
and that's it, over and done
thought this was meant to be fun
said you're different in person
you're different in person
i'm different in person
i'm different in person
6.Cafeteria Food
hey there project manager i see you eating cafeteria food
so you wanna call that a healthy choice,
well i'd argue that isn't true
stick figure family on the back of your car,
you know i find that to be rude
walking around like you own the place,
must think you're some kinda dude
one day i'll get a message, waiting at my desk
i'll take the time to open it and feel it remove my stress
people walking 'round looking sorry, someone'll even cry
i'll be feeling rosy, 'cause you're dead - you died
and i'm feeling like i'm not the father
dead - you died - and i'm feeling like i won the super bowl
hey there big time broker yeah
i saw you betting on the fantasy pool
always seem to have some wise remark, yeah,
even when you're being cruel
think you got it all figured out
except where to send your kids to school
go ahead, you can use the microwave,
it's an excellent kitchen tool
one day i'll get an email flashing on my screen
i'll go ahead and open it and enter in my dream
thought i heard some sobbing -
they're really gonna miss that guy
inside i'll be laughing, 'cause you're dead - you died
and i'm wishing i had my tap shoes on
dead - you died - and i'm feeling like
jesus christ our savior
7.Something About Mrs. Johnson
8.Male Gaze
it's when a smile becomes a stare and it starts to burn
it's when you ask him to knock it off and he doesn't learn
the sad routine doesn't change if he's broke or a millionaire
there's no getting through, that's how it is
he's never had to care
it's when you're judged before you even get to speak a word
it's when you make the smartest point and it goes unheard
i'm not innocent - i'm guilty
i'm not innocent - but i'm sorry
it's just the male gaze - it's in me i know it
i feel it all around me - i wish i could destroy it
yeah it's the male gaze - i've had it forever
and i know i'm no angel, but i'm trying to kill it
it's when you're judged in every way before you have arrived
it's pounded down every day since you've been alive
you quiet down and bite your lip in the face of total fools
it's never worth the punishment of breaking social rules
i'm not innocent - i'm guilty
i'm not innocent - but i'm sorry
i'm not innocent - i plead guilty
i'm not innocent - but i'm trying
9.Cathouse
i got an invitation, the sorta thing i wanna try
give it a shot before i die
thought i could learn to love felines
maybe take on home sometime
and now i'm itching while i sweat
walk in - sit down
wet eyes - dry mouth
can't sleep - red snout
loose fur - cat house
can't take it - internal systems
haywire - malfunction
i'm done - and choking
daylight - i'm hoping
everybody else is having a good time
cheering and laughing through the night
i'm itching, and shivering. and praying for forgiveness
because it feels like my body committed a crime
yeah thought i came here to visit
thought it would be worth my while
so tell me where's my smile？
i tired to fight it
i thought maybe things would change
but every cathouse is the same
10.Loubs
well i'm always walking around
with my eyes aimed at the ground
i swear it's like my chin could hit my chest
and if you see me pass you by,
i wouldn't hold it against you
if you went and diagnosed me as depressed
but really that's not it at all, i'm happy as a clam
i can't tell you the last time i felt stressed
i'm just making my way,
looking around while you think i've got the blues
but really all i'm trying to do it
take a hard look at your shoes
are they loubs
are they loubs？
yeah one day if i do things smart,
work extra late and extra hard
i should be able to throw something in the bank
and once i finally made it, i'll call you on the phone
and make plans to go shopping, whaddaya thank？
but there's no way we can end the day
before the thrill is gone
i'm taking you out for some OTKs
and i will help you put them on
yeah those loubs
loubs
yeah clothes are nice, and jewelry,
we'll have to do things right
whatever you want, you won't hear me say no
'til i'm seein' red
'til i'm seein' red under your heels, i'm seein' red
11.Health Plan
there comes a time in my life to choose a health plan
and now it's time in my life to choose a health plan
you wanna know my secret？ i stay away from doctors
yeah that's how i stay fit, i stay away from doctors
because what？ you want me to come in？
wanna stick needles and poke me？
try to give me some sort of diagnosis, no
you wanna fix me, well that's not happening
i'm just fine, and i'm staying this way
yeah that's why i don't do it, i stay away from doctors
no chance man, i'm not an idiot, i stay away from doctors
that's right, that's it, i stay away from doctors
not gonna have a fit, 'cause i stay away from doctors

i'm not crazy, i know how you operate
and don't you just love to operate
well not on me

you wanna know my secret？ i stay away from doctors
12.Teenage Adult
when you're living life in total disarray
couch doubles as a laundry pile, 'til mom takes it away
half a dozen years in college：extended vacation stay
when it comes to the rest of the world,
you'd rather hibernate
just another teenage adult - frozen in time
you never changed in fifteen years,
still you passed your prime
no reason to ever grow up, when there's so many toys
don't care about being a man,
when you're one of the boys
when you're living life on an extended delay
got an alphabetized shelf of all the games you play
nobody can tell you nothing, you really like it this way
when it comes to human interaction,
you'd rather hibernate
just another teenage adult - frozen in time
you never changed in fifteen years,
still you passed your prime
no reason to ever grow up, when there's so many toys
don't care about being a man,
when you're one of the boys
you've been living life in total disarray
never leave the house and you never have to make a mistake
no, not you
you're just gonna be peter pan
