Universally Speaking"
[Pre-Chorus:]
Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her I've got her on my mind
Nothing better the feeling is so fine
Simply put I saw your love stream flow
[Chorus:]
Come on baby 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking
Take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
Win in the long run
This is my calling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you
Hammers are falling
I said my darling
Shocking, appalling
All I can do to you
This is my calling

"Dosed"
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don’t forget me I can’t hide it
Come again get me excited
Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend
Don’t forget me I can’t hide it
Come again get me excited
"Can't Stop"
"Midnight"
[pre chorus:]
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go
[chorus:]
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story
It's a repeat
"Cabron"
Cabron
Cabron
"Tear"
This is my time
This is my tear
I can see clearly now
That this is not a place
For playing solitaire
Tell me where you want me
This is my time
This is my tear
Comin' on strong
Baudelaire
Seems to me like
All the world gets high
When you take a dare
Let it rise before you
This is my crime
California skies
Got room to spare
This is my time
Take it outside
Take it out there
Seems to me like
All the world gets high
When you take a dare
In the final moment
This is my time
"On Mercury"
Sit up straight
I'm on a double date
I've got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don't stop rock around the clock
Motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block
Memories of everything
Of lemon trees on mercury
Come to me with remedies
From five or six of seven seas
You always took me with a smile
When I was down
Memories of everything
That blew thru
Looking up into
A reverse vertigo
What an undertow
Give it up
Another stubborn scorpio
Come on, let's go
Sit up straight
I'm on a double date
I've got to find my way
Into the light, heavy, middle weight
We don't stop rock around the clock
Motor mouthing off
In front of every other road block
"Minor Thing"
"Warm Tape"
Let’s go
I know, I make it for two
Intuitions only what you take from it
I know, I make if for two
You were there and I was fortunate
I know I make it for two
And then a messy bed, apology that I will fall for you
I know I'll make it for two
I'll make it for two, I'll make it for two, and
STADIUM ARCADIUM
"Dani California"
Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go;
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow,
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.
Ho!
Went to descend to amend for a friend all the channels that have broken down.
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on,
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow.
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,
Privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.
"Charlie"
[Chorus:]
So much more than
Charlie's waking me
To my core and
Charlie's shakin' me
Tell my story
And Charlie's making me
And Charlie's making me smile.
Oh, Oh, now
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
"Stadium Arcadium"
Bells around St. Petersburg
When I saw you
"Hump De Bump"
Livin' in a citadel
It's hot enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now
She's only 18
Don't like the Rolling Stones
She took a short cut
To being fully grown
[Chorus:]
Slow cheetah come
Before my forest
Looks like it's on today
I know a girl
She worked in a store
She knew not what
Her life was for
She barely knew her name
[Chorus]
Everyone has
So much to say
They talk talk talk
Their lives away
Don't even hesitate
Walking on down
To the burial ground
It's a very old dance
With a merry old sound
Looks like it's on today
"Torture Me"
"Strip My Mind"
Operator, co-creator
Come on radiator won't you
Blow another top and sing
Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
...well I could be your friend
Cry me a future
Where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck
A rainy Lithuanian
Who's dancing as an Indian
Painted in my tiger skin
(Especially in Michigan)
Life is my friend
Underwater violins
Order now from ho chi min
A porcelain that comes in twins
...when I'm in Michigan
"Warlocks"
Warlocks in wonderland
I've got a megatropolis in my hand
And a... subterranean marching band
Makin' noise for the boys in the Vatican
And a
[Chorus:]
Every night I go looking for you
Everyone in the world adores you
A little pocket of something kind
To find your reason
Coming up and it everyday for
Look at me and it's what I stay for
A little locket of fantasy
That we believe in
[Chorus]
Make a deal with Uncle Weezer
Sign your name to claim
China Chow will try to please her
Sweetness came from Jane
Warlocks in wonderland
I've gotta... Rockapotomus in my hand
With a... Happy ending that's made of sand
With a little bit of lovin' is all I can
"C'mon Girl"
Everything inside of me
Is burning up for you to see
C'mon girl
Let's get it right
Let's get it right
Let's get it right
My disenchanted diplomat
Asleep inside the laundromat
Conveyer belts are moving and
I want you you to be sure of that, tell me
"Wet Sand"
"Hey"
Let it on, I'll cut you off when you're screaming into the phone.
Hard to own.
Anyway, I wanna let you know that everything is on hold.
What you gonna do to me?
"Tell Me Baby"
[Chorus:]
Tell me, baby, what's your story?
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
Tell me, lover, are you lonely?
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me, baby, what's your story?
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time?
You're so lovely. Are you lonely?
Giving up on the innocence you left behind
Some claim to have the fortitude
Too shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed
"Hard To Concentrate"
"21st Century"
What? Yeah
"Readymade"
Readymade, Readymade
Steady as the rhythm rolls
Readymade, Readymade
And this is how the story goes
Readymade, Readymade
Steady as the rhythm rolls
Readymade, Readymade
And this is how the story goes
Readymade, Readymade
Getting out to celebrate
Readymade, Readymade
And now it's time to educate
Readymade, Readymade
Let 'em out to celebrate
Readymade, Readymade
And now it's time to educate
Readymade, Readymade
Rock it for the circus slave
Readymade, Readymade
Tell them now the love to save
Readymade, Readymade
Rock it for the circus slave
Readymade, Readymade
Listen but don't be afraid
"If"

"Animal Bar"
[Chorus:]
Rain on my frustration
Stake my claim now break this
Wash me down my station
Makes more rain forsaken
[Chorus]
"Storm In A Teacup"
Come on come on baby let me show you what I'm talkin' about
You try to be a lady but you're walking like a sour kraut
Looka looka lika lika like you wanna get some
If you never tell a lie then you never have to play dumb
(O o no its getting worse, worse by the minute we're down here in divison in mystery
someone send for back up!!)
Every other day you say you're gonna have to bury 'em
Famous last words spoken from the laserium
Descendents had a record sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo
You can take the A train but you're gonna have to lie low
The curtain
Is open
A head to
Put dope in
Now we will
Come clean it
The future
We've seen it
No, no, I know, I said, no no
Soda pop
We've got to set up shop
And when the weather comes
We've got a pressure drop
We don't know
But everyday I go
To see what I can bring
Into a cameo
Oh oh oh no
We believe
Climb a tree
For monkey business
Write a check out to forgiveness
All the world on half an acre
Pushing dirt into a quaker
The mission
The method
The downfall
Arrested
Cuz it's not
The first time
Nor is it
The worst time
No no oh no
Boomerang
Into a bigger bang
A little cry of love
Because they cannot sing
Cherokee
What did the pharaoh see
Another time and space
Another place to be
The motive
The measure
The purpose
The pleasure
The risk is
It worth it
The disc is
It perfect
I found you
Amongst them
The flower
With young stem
Disparage
The broken
The marriage

"Turn It Again"
Some of us get a little
And some a lot
We've got to make due
With what ever we got
We get it hot we cool it down
And then we pass it around
Sometimes when
I'm lying there all alone
I think of every little nothing
That we could own
To overthrow all of you
Who have overgrown
All my friends
Like to spend
Days on end
On the mend
I turn to you, I turn into
And then I turn it again
Here we go
All we know
Heavy load
Start to float
Without a doubt, we turn it out
And then we turn it again
All my friends
Like to spend
Days on end
On the mend
I turn to you, I turn into
And then I turn it again
Here we go
All we know
Heavy load
Start to float
Without a doubt, we turn it out
And then we turn it again
All my friends
Like to spend
Days on end
On the mend
I turn to you, I turn into
And then I turn it again
Here we go
All we know
Heavy load
Start to float
Without a doubt, we turn it out
And then we turn it again
"Death Of A Martian"
Disappeared.
No trace.
Musky tears.
Suitcase.
"Monarchy Of Roses"
[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
And Mary wants to build it up, and Sherri wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
The cross between my former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears of Ireland, a lovely cross to bare
[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends know, the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to raise it up, and Sherri wants to spin it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight
[Chorus:]
Several of my best friends wear, the colors of the crown
And Mary wants to build it up, and Sherri wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses
Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will then say I want to
The story knows that I will never taunt you
Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will then say I want to
The story knows that I will always haunt you
Hey
"Factory Of Faith"
I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, is just a medicine
Make you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?
[Chorus:]
Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, is just a medicine
Makes you wanna cry, why don'd they let us in?
[Chorus:]
Be my wife, I think you right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I got a factory of faith
I got a factory of...
[Chorus:]
Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
Come get me
Hey!
Hey!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
Let me live
So when it's time to die
Even the reaper cries
Let me die
So when it's time to live
Another son will rise
[Chorus:]
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away
To where we all belong
(I said yeah, yeah, yeah)

"We're rolling everybody. It starts with bass."
EIOIEIA
When you give your love away
You get a feeling for
EIOIEIA
Live to love another day
even when you feel unsure
More and more I wanna raise
Raise my bar
And raise your stakes

When I lie they're wide awake

We walk out in that road
Lucy Rebar
She's a friend of mine
Later she'll go
Back and redefine the line
It's getting longer all the time
Oh yeah
Drinking sunshine
She likes the taste of it
She had a gold mine
but then she wasted it away
You should have seen her yesterday
Oh yeah
Sugar daddy
Loves her madly
Cosma shiva
Got off
Made you a believer
I don't need to
Tender
Why do I believe you?
Annie wants a baby now

Any way she can
Missing pieces
She's got a lot of them
Time decreases
I wish I thought of them
- before
Before it's time
To close the store

Distillation
A lonely sycophant
Some liberation
The only seed
We ever plant
I wanna help you
But I can't
No no

Got off
Made you a believer
Neon soldiers
Left her
Now you've gotten older
Annie wants a baby now
Annie wants a baby
Any way she can
"Look Around"
Woo!
Stiff club
It's my nature
Custom love

Turn down
Mass confusion
Hit the road
'Cause we just keep cruisin'
Double my fun
Double my vision
Long hard look
At my last decision
Hustle here
Hustle there
Hustle me bitch
And you best beware
It's emotional
And I told you so
But you had to know
So I told you
Soft walk
To horizon
One big crash
That no one dies in
This for the folks in Fayetteville
It'll come true if you say it will
[Chorus:]
Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around
All around
Look around
Look around

But you had to know

When I'm feeling small and I'm
hitting a wall
Wanna feel it all around
[Verse]
Lip stick junkie
Debunked the all in one, she
Came back wearing a smile
Lookin' like someone drugged me
That wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
And then we go oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
[Verse]
Rain dance Maggie
Advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods
Little did I know her body
Was warm delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit
[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud

But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
'Cause I'll be gone girl

C'mon c'mon
[Verse 1:]
I'm comin' for ya
'Cause I adore ya
I'd like to get inside
Your mass production
This indecision
Has got me cringing
I can't resist the smell
Of your seduction
Did I let you know
Would you like to go
Unwrap the package
Without much persuasion
Did I let you know
Would you like to go
I wanna dance to
Everyday's occasion
[Chorus:]
This I know
This I know
(Take me home, well take me home)
This I know
We're not alone
(Take me home, take me home)

When we envision
Lack of division
The planet does
Another revolution
The day I blew on ya
You said I grew on ya
Turns out that we are
All the one solution
GO!

[Chorus]
[Guitar Solo]

A little mass perception

Oh so Mozambiquey
I think the world could use
A clear connection

"Goodbye Hooray"
Woop Woop! Ha

Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around oh nah nah no!
Start marchin'
'Cause you think you shot to #1
Counting days and
skipping your stones into the sun
Over age and under thumb
Does it weigh a ton
I'll be yours tonight,
Living the dream of a meteorite
Half blinded
I'm reminded how to find the stairs
Nickel and dimin'
Think it's time
To play some musical chairs
Dirty laundry
What a quandary
Ask her if she cares
I'll be yours and more
better than ever like never before
Sweet talkin'
As I'm walkin' thru your part of town
Never again
Will Johnny C a Love Supreme be found
Is it ever meant to be
And is it so profound
Is it you and me
A billion to one make history
Said yeah
Oh yeah
Said yeah
Oh yeah
Said yeah
Oh yeah

[Chorus 1:]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I've got you ten times over
I'll chase you down
'Til you're dead
[Chorus 2:]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head
[Chorus 2:]
Down home country
I rest my face on your bed
I met my soul mate country
And I left it all for your head
I got my best foot forward
And I'll chase you down
'Til you're dead.

Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back

Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back
Come on
I feel so bad
I thought you'd wanna know
I feel so bad
I thought you'd wanna know
Something I wanna show
I thought you ought to know
THE GETAWAY
"The Getaway"
Complete repeat
Sitting in your car and on your street
Lost in California
Let’s steal this wheel
Take a spin to find out how we feel
Just around the corner
Slow down for sound
Turn it up and no we can’t be found
The body that we transcend
Asleep, you weep
Find out that the trick is never cheap
A melancholy girlfriend
"Dark Necessities"
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Whatcha want
Whatcha need
Do you love
Whatcha want
Whatcha need
Do you love
"Goodbye Angels"
Favor some
Way too young
Slave to none
Way too young
"Sick Love"
"Go Robot"
I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
Robots don't care where I've been
You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
Robots are my next of kin
I was walking through the streets I could not hear my best friend call
He was feeling incomplete about to take his final fall
Last thing I remember there were tears of blood and just not mine
Any other day and I would save you from this cold decline
"Detroit"
"This Ticonderoga"
I met a man in a rock and roll band he said won't you come with me
I let him know that I could not go you see I get mine for free
Means so much to me
Can you see the we
What are we ever gonna do when all I want to be is next to you
I took a girl from the underworld and I held her way too tight
When it's all been said and done she was not up for the fight
It's my favorite
So I savor it
I must report that life is short
So of your love I'll take ten quarts well
Am I crazy to
Join the lazy zoo
All these human butterflies and
Cactus flowers swollen eyes and
I met a girl with long black hair and she opened up so wide
A daffodil growing in Brazil and I picked her for my bride
Done it right
"Encore"
Listen to the Beatles and the sound of laughing Ed McMahon, we got high
Educated by a world so full of self and lost in space, too much pride
Cosmonauts and dirty thoughts are juggling the juggernaut, Soviet Spy
Every now and then when I remember to befriend, the little things in life
Hold my hand
I want to share it all with Mary
Results are gonna vary now
Later on I'll read to you the things that I've been needing to say goodbye
Walk away from mom and dad to find the love you never had, tell no lies
Carry on and write a song that says it all and shows it off 'fore you die
Take a little breath before you catch an early death there is so much sky
Hold my hand
I want to share it all with Mary
Results are gonna vary now
Skinny brains and little stains upon your
Face teenage remains tell me more
Lifted in the fifties when you really rather drifted through time, let's soar
Hold my hand
I want to share it all with Mary
Results are gonna vary now
