Track Name: Someone Else
Someone Else

Everybody’s got a virtual twin
A different address with the same color skin
It’s predetermined that I’m not gonna win
Your embraces; take it on the chin now

If that’s the case I might as well search all the rest
Collecting images that rank with the best
My first impression is replaced by the next
I’m back to – a clean slate – without you

Everybody Looks Like Someone Else
Everybody Looks Like Someone Else
Cause I know if you leave me like a
Certified-preowned home stereo
Everybody Looks Like Someone Else

This realization brings the kid out of me
I see Ground Hog Day unfold like a dream
I’ll get at least another chance to achieve
The key to – your heart and – your bedroom

Everybody Looks Like Someone Else
Everybody Looks Like Someone Else
Cause I know if you leave me like a
Certified-preowned home stereo
Everybody Looks Like Someone Else

If I lose my grip
I’ll find another place
To find the one like you
Who’s got a different taste for ones like me
Track Name: Online Dating
Online Dating

I like to runaround in the nude, now are we telling the truth
I got so good at doctoring and altering my face
To trim my extra weight
I probably drink to much but I’m ready to love
I haven’t had any luck with online dating, so far

Now I swear I’m not a psyco
But I got caught watching my 16 year old neighbor last night
No big deal, right?
Now I’ve got a question for you
Are you accepting of a man’s great need to please himself outright
Whenever the time is right

I don’t like much sports, I don’t like tea
I don’t swish or floss between my teeth
My stomach condition gives me gas
In the morning my room smells like ass

I like to runaround in the nude, now are we telling the truth
I got so good at doctoring and altering my face
To trim my extra weight
I probably drink too much but I’m ready to love
I haven’t had any luck with online dating, so far

In my bed your picture lies
I undress it with my eyes
And I love you
That is I’ll do just what it takes to be above you

Can you tell I’m kind of hairy?
I used to shave it all off but it gave me rashes where the sun don’t shine
And it grew back just fine
People say I’m kind of scary
Because suppressing my feelings can make me want to knock out someone’s lights
When I’m drinkin right

I don’t have a degree, I don’t like school
I don’t like most things that people do
I don’t like to spend money on my food
But I could spend the night with you

I like to runaround in the nude, now are we telling the truth
I got so good at doctoring and altering my face
To trim my extra weight
I probably drink to much but I’m ready to love
I haven’t had any luck with online dating, so far
Track Name: Advantages
Advantages (of Getting To Know You)
by Dan Grennes

Something’s creeping in
Slipping through my skin
Something’s drifting in to my soul
Residing against my will
Controlling my motor skills
Shifting my focus and my role

My heart goes faster
When I walk past her

There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You
I’m just waiting for my cue
There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You
And I’m out of my league but I’m beginning to see the truth
There’s Advantages of loving living my life with you

Ignoring our differences
Beware what your best friend says
I’ll grow on you like your favorite jeans
If you could just hang with me
Away from these city streets
Out where the air is cool and clean

I’ll win you over
My four leaf clover

There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You
I’m just waiting for my cue
There’s Advantages of Getting To Know You
And I’m out of my league but I’m beginning to see the truth
There’s Advantages of loving living my life with you
Track Name: Always In My Mind
Always In My Mind

You’re everything I ever wanted in a lover
And you’re so hot to trot with me
And you sure have got a lot – of things to offer
From your neck down to your seat

It’s such a perfect metamorphosis
Such a perfect sin
I Gotta touch, gotta taste
The skin that no one’s in

Now I’m back, now you’re forward
While I’m chasing, you’re behind
Cause you’re always in
I’m always in your
Always in my mind

Whenever you slip onto my – twisted thinking process
I can slip right into you
You do anything I ask to raise my – spirits
Till you wash away my blues

Now my ego is inflated beyond the stratosphere
The words you let slip off your tongue
Are licking in my ear

Now I’m back, now you’re forward
While I’m chasing, you’re behind
Cause you’re always in
I’m always in your
Always in my mind

No Need To Flirt
Let’s Throw Some Dirt
Now I’m On Top Of The World

Denim mini skirts in history
Won’t hide your legs from me
All of you is on display
For all the world to see

Now I’m back, now you’re forward
While I’m chasing, you’re behind
Cause you’re always in
I’m always in your
Always in my mind
Track Name: Good Guy
Good Guy

Everyone knows that’s how it goes
You catch every woman’s eye when you got
That typical bad boy look
I’ve gone to the gym to pump up my skin
I’ve tried everything but I can’t seem to get
Those parts of you that you shook

I’m gonna sit with Bradley Pitt and I’ll practice my tough guy stuff
But I submit that I should quit, cause I’ll never be tough enough

I’m the Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy
Even though I never have the balls to say it
The Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy
Never even know how badly that I want your hand
And I’m not so bad

I wanna flirt, give you some dirt
Wanna show you things that I don’t wanna hide
I’ll give anything to try
To get up the nerve to handle your curves
And there’s much more that you’ll find deep inside
Kept in my dirty mind

I’m gonna try to tell a lie
Gotta make up a hero tale
About a guy that almost died till I turned up to save the day

I’m the Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy
Even though I never have the balls to say it
The Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy
Never even know how badly that I want your hand

Why do you like those men who
Treat you like a statue
Never pay you any mind

I watched you as you shot a glance at that football player
Your hungry eyes were hypnotized as you talked to him after class

I’m the Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy
Even though I never have the balls to say it
The Good Guy who wants to be the bad guy
Never even know how badly that I want your hand
Take the Good Guy with the Bad Guy
Cause I’m not so bad
Track Name: Rise and Fall
Rise and Fall

Severed communications, signal just hit the wall
Look for the fluctuations Rise and Fall
Enter a wealthy nation, waving and standing tall
Victim of deviation Rise and Fall

Please don’t tell me, I don’t want to know

Towers and markets crashing, business is at a crawl
Policy starts to crumble Rise and Fall
Nuclear invitations, making a final call
The fleecing of mother nature Rise and Fall

I can’t listen to the radio
Don’t tell me I don’t want to know

And the news speaks to loud, gets me down
Watching television
I walk around, through the crowds in an urban prison
Trying to sound fairly proud as I speak to others
Feeling as down as the ground

Severed communications, signal just hit the wall
Look for the fluctuations Rise and Fall

I can’t listen to the radio
Don’t tell me I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know
I don’t want to
Religion, politics and the media
On the TV and the radio
Religion, politics and the media
