Ursa Major

Third Eye Blind Ursa Major Lyrics
1.Can You Take Me

All I want right now
is the time that we slept on the floor,
You said, 'Right here and right now
is all that we're livin' for.'
I got the velocity
when all I need now is the mass,
And, I just want you to ask.

Can you take me?
Into days I never knew?
Let's start a riot (I wanna riot)
Let's start a riot me and you,
'cause a riot's overdue.

Now these days I wonder why
we holdin' back on bliss,
We blasphemy everything we see
and I just wanna give you a kiss.
I want the infidel's head on a pike
riding on my motorbike,
And, you and me are alike.

Can you take me?
Into days I never knew?
Let's start a riot. (I wanna riot.)
Let's start a riot me and you,
'cause a riot's overdue.

It's getting bigger and wider.
I'm a mega collider,
When I take you,
Into days I never knew.
Let's start a riot. (I wanna riot.)
Let's start a riot me and you,
'cause a riot's overdue.

Bust you out, I've come to bust you out.
I've come to bust you out.
I've come.

Live in doubt, no longer live in doubt.
No longer live in doubt. Nooo.

Humbly now, oh yes humbly now,
I ask for no resistance.
Oh no resistance.

Maybe now, oh just maybe now,
we can bridge the distance.
'Cause it's so, it's so big, big.

Into days I never knew.
Let's start a riot. (I wanna riot.)
Let's start a riot me and you,
'cause a riot's overdue.
Don't back down, don't compromise
Don't close your eyes
Here it is do or die
And you still believe the lie
And you still believe the lie
And the world is for the meek
Well this mouse is going to squeak
Yes I am dying to be freaked
Yes I am dying to be freaked.


2.Don't Believe A Word

Cigarette fingers ember stain
Incriminating notes on a paper chain
Did you ever get the feeling
that you've been cheated?
I wanna bust out I've not been defeated
You're all strong bones they hold no water
Got the big fake smile, you just get sadder
Time wound down and you've been cached
Because half measured shows are all half ass
How did we ever end up this way?
And I fall numb in disarray
I'm cultivating my ignorance
Didn't we have some standards once?
I hate you and your cowboy boots oh
You wanted clever, and you settled for stupid
You threw it all away so indiscreet
Like a bad boy ready so dirty little cheat
It's a shallow vicious state of mind
Like an angry joke, getting dumped online
Give me back my photos will you?
You fucking whore I'll kill you

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe it) Cause pretty soon
(Don't believe) That dead King George
will wake up screaming
Our soundtrack is the slowest thing
Some will ache, replace the sting
Rap stars brag about shooting each other?
Whatever happened to brother brother
We like thugs when they attack
And we like crime when it's black on black
And isn't this you you cold hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take?
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just walk on by
(Don't believe it) This mobile gas
(Don't believe) And then we all can all get high
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe it) Cause pretty soon
(Don't believe) That dead King George
will wake up screaming

Wake up screaming (hahaha)
Wake up screaming (Ohhhhhh)

YEAH! (yeah!)
YEAH! (yeah!)
YEAH! (yeah!)
YEAH! (yeah!)

Round up on the big lynch pins
I hope we don't get fooled again
All sensation makes no sense
You got some insane confidence
I can't find myself I can't change the station
In this cold damp cellar in this pity nation
Scandalize now with such ease
America, give me back my keys
Say hello to soldiers squeeze
The trigger on fake enemies
We're all aboard, and all alone
Till you come home
Bring us home
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe it) Cause pretty soon
(Don't believe) That dead King George
will wake up screaming
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Keep on breathing) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word


3.Bonfire

A little early in spring, a bonfire ring
She's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
But you can wear

My duct-taped vest
It's a party best
It's really all I own
Everything's changing now

And I am high like a star that's flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now

She said it's alright
She said no don't die alone
There's no goodbyes

Lightning comes and lightning goes
And it's all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
I keep burning on and on and on

If nothing else I am myself
That's all I have to give
Everything's changing now

Oh we could live like kings
If we take a risk
Or we could live in doubt
Everything's changing now
Oh now
Come on, come on
And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it's all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
The chain will soon be gone,
And I keep burning on and on
This, this is, this is the last time,
This, this is, this is your goodbye
This, this is, this is the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye

Some girls will break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everything's changing now

Maybe you and I are cursed
Maybe you and I are one
And that's the universe
Around, around she drags you
Lightning comes and lightning goes
It's all the same to me
Let it in
Cuz I want you so
I can hardly breathe or release
Into one thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
We'll stop the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on and on
I really love you!

Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?
Did you get what you wanted?


4.Sharp Knife

Time tick tick ticks after me
My mp3 is out of juice
I wrote a song for you but what's the use
How did we get knocked so loose,
knocked so loose.

Someone I swore I'd never be
Who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
Lately it's a little hard for me to see
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe

And it's all disappearing
And it all falls apart
And it seems like the ending
Is a lot like the start

Well nature has its own rules
Like gravity crushing me
And lies, I'm of the memory
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
At least you left a mark on me

And I think there's a reason
At least there's a sign
And all that we call chaos
I will say it's by design
But I'm just lying

What you need is a sharp knife, son
To come back down from an all time low
I think I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knifeto cut
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.

So new friend can you hear this?
Can we return to fearless?
Merry pranksters one and all
And walk that devil down the hall

Yes it's all disappearing
And we should all just go along
And it all would be so easy,
If we could just say, 'let it be.'
But that's not me.

What you need is a sharp knife, son.
You can come out of an all time low
Seems like I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife,
A sharp knife,
To cut.

A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.

What you need is a sharp knife son
You can come back down from an all time low
Seems like I'm the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife.
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife
A sharp knife
To cut.

A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv


5.One In Ten

No chance I could be her boyfriend
I'm trying to flip butch girls again
We could see what life pretends
And why don't I still call a friend?

She says, you know I love you,
but I feel so one in ten.

And life is short and dull
Categorize to the full,
until the charm is gone.
And you're a big girl,
if you wanna get it on, you will
And if you don't, you won't

She says, you know I love you,
but I feel so one in ten.

You could have such a life, with me
You could knit baby sweaters,
We could watch the flatscreen t.v.

She says, you know I love you,
but I feel so one in ten.

What's the differences, when it goes down?
If it's a girl, or if it's guys?
Can't you just close your eyes?
Baby, close your eyes.
Baby, close your eyes.

Love doesn't come in perfect packages,
that means I qualify.
And I know it's not your way,
but I thought we could give it a try.

She says, you know I love you,
but I feel so one in ten.
You know I love you,
but I feel so one in ten.
you know I love you,
she'll always be my one in ten.


6.About To Break

I was walking alone on the ocean
I felt a fever burning up all I am
'Cause if there's one thing that I can't stand
It's standing next to my fellow man, ah

It's about to break, oh

For the social worker at the needle exchange
For the soft medicated and the hard deranged
For the lesbians at the bakery
Saying, 'Do you really hate me?'

It's about to break

Break like a fever
It's about to break
Break like a fever

People looking for themselves without mirrors
Well, not knowing why you're here
Public appearance is the verge of tears
When you're out, you get off on weed and beer

Stand up now, let me look at you
Can we all take a part of you?
Stand up now, let me look at you
Can we all take a part of you?

You're dangerous with a stinger, missile
Weapons hot, thinking this will
We won't make them follow orders
Doctors without borders

It's about to break
It's about to break
Break like a fever
When I see your face,
I wanna be in the human race
(Break like a fever)
You're beautiful, it's true,
I wanna be beautiful life you
When I see your face,
I wanna be in the human race

You're beautiful, it's true,
I wanna be beautiful life you
For the teenage mother with the baby asleep
For apricot when life is cheap
For losing faith ...
America fades into myth


7.Summer Town

This dumb jam didn't mean a thing
Ecstasy, rave is king
Fake diamonds shining on a finger
And I'm bad for you
You stole my soul, or I gave it to you

I wish I was a spray can
Hey!
Where did everybody go?
Everyone I know has blown the coast and
Shiver in the wind, it shows
All I have are summer clothes
Oh it brings me down when it's wintertime
in a Summer Town and
It's winter time in a Summer Town and

All we are friends we keep
Or lose in time
Fade away the precious ones we keep in mind
I wonder now if I'm the one
that you leave behind.
Cause after Hallowe'en
Everything starts fading
I'm losing everyone
I go down like that sun
You know what I mean
I'm just someone in a Summer Town

Standing by the old beach house house
Where we stood outside, sang out loud and
I will shiver like a ghost
I remember the time that we drew a crowd and
I told you everything I knew
in a manic rushing line
I wonder now if I'm the kind
that you left behind
Cause after Hallowe'en
Everything starts fading
I'm losing everyone
I go down like that sun
You know what I mean
My whole life is a Summer Town

You get into the people you met
And the moment comes
that you can't forget, and
Some flies in trajectory
That you gave me more than you took from me
I'm as empty now as a vacant sign
Like tonight

Cause after Hallowe'en
Can we stay together?
I'm losing everyone and I come undone
Nothing lasts forever
Last summer is done
Can we find another one?
Find another one.
No no no no
Yeah!

Hey, where'd everybody go?
Everyone I know has blown the coast and
All we are is holding on
But we're letting it go,
letting it go,
letting it
All we are is friends we keep
When we lose them all
and it's bittersweet and
I realize we'll always be in a Summer Town

I wish I was a spray can
To write my name on the world and
I wish I was a megaphone with my speaker blown
To get myself known in a Summer Town
Smell sun block on her hot skin
In the bungalow before the day begins
Some dumb jam didn't mean a thing
Ecstasy, rave is king!
Fake diamonds shining on a finger
I'm bad for you as anyone you ever knew
Still you stole my soul or I gave it to you
Yeah you stole my soul or I gave it to you
And then we get high and do the 5-5 deal
Rock a fanny pack now from the front
Because she's busy
with the bumps of fake cocaine
It was funny once now it's funny again
And I was never able to reach her
No no
Next leap of the creature
Maybe then, maybe then

Summer dies then you go away
Wanna be hustles cool M.I.A.
Make a paper plane then you fly away
You make a paper plane then you fly away
Fly away
We can fly away.
Once a super secret
Stupid fucking pocket!
Where I left my bungalow keys?
How am I always waking up in places like these?
Who's been singing all my symphonies?
Rap bastards!
Impaling my infamies
You'll be begging murder please
But back to the tramp in the little sundress
She was reading Nabokov, Miller and Tess
Dressed so fine just as you are
Stone cold rap superstar
And, I was never able to reach her.
Alright


8.Why Can't You Be

Are you frightened by the weight you possess
Or is this lie just weightlessness, and
Smoggy twilight in L.A.
I can't think of one real thing to say
And you and me are walking in the canyons
She forgets that we were friends
I guess it all depends on your mood
Why can't these meds be any damn good

And she said,
Why can't you be like my water pick shower massager
A sweet reliable machine
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
My water massager's the purest love I've ever known
Why can't you be, like when I was thirteen

He said
Why can't you be
Like an art house foreign movie
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And aloof to me and
Why can't you be, a little more of a mystery
Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Say we're perfect for each other
And I know we won't spend this life
Alone
She said,
Why can't you be
Like an out sourced government contract
I'm a fat cat getting away with anything
Kicking some secret special powers
Illumination rounds in showers

'Cause your tearing our hair out
When we could have a bed of flowers
And I said,
Why can't you be
Like the chicks out on the road
Some girls are happy just to see me
Cause you got moxie and a broken nose
You take em away from this prose
Sometimes a blow job's not enough
Why can't you play
A little less rough

Why can't you be, the part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other,
say we're perfect for each other,
and I know we won't go spend this life, alone.

Can we, just leave it be
We could live our lives
Separately
Could you forget
What happens to you, to you and me
When we're dead
And we'll be dead
We'll have eternity
And I will spend it all
Missing you, missing you and me
So while I'm alive
I will always be
Seeking you out, diggin' you out,
wondering about
How'd we go so far down
And what's wrong with you,
what's wrong with you and me
She said,
Why can't you be,
someone looking a little deeper into me
Like J.D. Salinger,
Why do I challenge her
In all the surface ways that you displease
Why can't you be a little more at ease, well
Why can't you be, like a hand rolled cigarette
I'm not joking
This masochistic, self-pity of smoking
And this silly ditty I keep provoking you
To leave me

And she said,
Why can't you be like a candle I can snuff
You're still a diamond in the rough
And I swear to god I've had enough
How can I
Call your bluff


9.Water Landing

When will I start to learn?
Oh, yeah-eeah.
I'm bleeding in this game,
Cause she uses boys like bandages,
But the wounds remain the same.
And, I hope you find it through
this endless wandering.
I'm missing you for so long.
Oh, yeah-eeah.
You're a question mark and a scar.
And, you twist me up like a tourniquet,
Till I don't know who we are,
I know chasing after you,
won't change a thing.
And I hope you find it through
this endless wandering.
Change everything I know. Oh.
She won't let me come.
And she won't let me go.

Let me come inside.
Inside.
Let me come inside.
Inside.

Da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da-da-da-da.
I was late and my face was wet,
Tow up in a private jet,
Spiraling down with a cigarette.
Where we going now? Cause I forget.
And I gotta get it all but it takes a toll.
But if it gets so high, will it grow a soul?
Dark side giving me such a pull, such a pull.
And if it's a Water Landing,

Then it's a, Water Landing.

Put on your life vest only if told to do so.
Well I'm telling you now,
strap it across your chest.
Prepare yourself for impending death.
You and me are nosediving
at the speed of whip lash,
Life flashes by in an endless plane crash.
A muffled I love you,
through an oxygen mask, on my face.
Brace. Brace.
In the cabin you're etched
with religious conversions,
God's sick joke as we lose the engines.
Some people scream, some people are gracious.
And the reason's the same, '
cause the sky outside is so spacious.
It's so spacious.

So, if it's a Water Landing.
Then it's a, a Water Landing.
If it's a, a Water Landing.
Then it's a, a Water Landing.
And it's coming inside.
Inside.
It's coming inside.
Inside.


10.Dao Of St. Paul

In this night, I need to call you
but all the lines are blown.
If only you knew, how empty I feel.
But maybe then you're lonely too,
and it's tearing through you
like a punctured wound.
Maybe no one knows what to do.
When we know we're alone
in a temporary home.
Maybe we'll realize
that's a blessing in disguise.

A blessing in disguise.

Well don't you know the sound of
anger brings a dark result.
And every insult is like a lightning bolt.
So go home now, oh yeah,
you don't have one,
to some guy that you don't know.
And make a baby,
but that won't change my problem though.
I spent the last three years
setting myself on fire for you.
I spent the last three years never knowing
if what you say is true.
And it'll be this way until one of us dies.
Is that a blessing in disguise?

It's a blessing in disguise.

And I tell myself what we're living for.
And say: rejoice, evermore.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
'Til one of us dies.

'Til one of us dies.

Well I confess that so far happiness
eludes me in my life.
You better hurry up if its ever to be mine.
Better hurry up now if we're ever gonna find,
what we're living for.
If it's not you, anymore.
I'll learn,
To sing:
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore, rejoice.
Evermore,...


11.Monotov's Private Opera

Every moment of your life
Is a chance to get it right
Any moment you've been living in
You could turn it on like a light

All the weight of the years
Has got me burstin' into tears
Standin' here with nothin'
I stand alone inside my fears

Like an atom reveals a deeper state
Well I swear for me tonight
It's not too late
To tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I'll mean it
Even when I'm talking to myself
I said maybe,
it's you and only you and no one else

How I miss Moscow
Those people really know
How to have a good time
In a mixed up state of mind
And Monotov's Private Opera is closed
So I guess I'll go home now
Cause there's no wheres else to go
And I will tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I will mean it
Even when I'm talking to myself
I said baby,
it's you and only you and no one else
You and no one else
Now I'm stuck inside a poem
And then I'm walkin by myself
In the dark, all alone
And these actors and dramatists
They won't send me home

Well, maybe I'm like my father
Strung out on something or another
Held to a standard
We were always sinking under
And maybe I'm like my mother
She shattered cause no one loved her
And maybe I, Maybe I am like no other

And some moments are more real
than the books I've read
And a good woman,
well, maybe she meant what she said
Cause I tell you now know,
Some things go straight to my head
And I'll tell you baby
It's you and only you and no one else
And I will mean it,
even when I'm talkin' to myself
I said baby,
it's you and only you and no one else
Yes I'll mean it
... talkin' to myself
I'm talking to myself
I'm talking to myself
Talking to myself
Maybe

Everything changed in a day
And I know, another one, on the way
Everything changed in a day
And I know, another one, on the way
Everything changed in a day
And I know, another one, on the way
