You
You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you

You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself not you

It's like the world is gonna end so soon
And why should I believe myself

Woah

You me and everything
Caugh in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire

You me and everything
Caught in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire

Creep
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a werido
What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna perfect body
I wanna perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

Oh Oh she's running out again
Run
She's running out
She run run run run run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here
I don't belong here

I don't belong here

How Do You
He's bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be looked at
He wants to be loved
He wants you to listen
He wants us to leave
And he was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak

But how do you
How do you
How do you

He lives with his mother
But we showed him respect
He's a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And he's just like his daddy
'Cause he cheats on his friends
And he steals and he bullies any way that he can

No no no no
But how do you
How do you
How do you

back to the top

Stop Whispering
And the wise man said I don't wanna hear your voice
And the thin man say I don't wanna hear your voice
And they're cursing me and they won't let me be
And there's nothing to say and there's nothing to do

Stop whispering start shouting
Stop whispering start shouting

And my mother say we spit on your son some more
And the building say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is that there's something wrong
'Cause I can't find the words and I can't find the songs

Stop whispering start shouting
Stop whispering start shouting

Dear sir
I have a complaint

Dear sir
I have a complaint
Can't remember what it is
Doesn't matter anyway
Doesn't matter anyway

Stop whispering
Stop whispering
Stop whispering
Stop whispering
Start shou . . .

Been Thinking About You
Been thinking about you
Your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And your my star
What do you care

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
And what do you care
When the other men are far far better

All the things you got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey

I been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
And what do you care
When I'm not there

All the things you got
That you'll never need
All the things you got
I bled and I bleed to please you

I been thinking about you

Anyone Can Play Guitar
Destiny
Destiny protect me from the world
Destiny
Hold my hand protect me from the world

Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the worm does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on a beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair
Grow my hair I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if the worm does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on a beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

Vegetable
I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard died hard

Every time you're running out of here
Every time you're running I get the fear

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face no home
Your words surround me and asphyxiate
And I burn all hate

Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see
I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

The waters spray
The waters run
All over me

The waters spray
The waters run
And this
Time
You're
Gonna pay

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

Prove Yourself
Can't afford to breathe in this town
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hook back up to the cathode ray
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I wanna breathe
I wanna grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work I bleed I bed and pray
And I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself [woah]
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I Can't
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me it was a strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world'll keep it down

Even though I might
Even though I try
I can't
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can't

So many things that keep
That keep me underground
So many words that I
That I can't live without
If you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

And even though I might
Even though I try
I can't
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can't

If you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

And even though I might
Even though I try
I can't
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can't

Even though I might
Even though I try
I can't
Even though I might
Even though I try
I can't

Lurghee
I feel better
I feel better now you're gone
I got better
I got better I got strong
I feel better
I feel better now there's nothing wrong
I got better
I got better I got strong

Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me one thing
Tell me one thing and let it go
I got something
I got something heaven knows
I got something
I got something I don't know

Blow Out
In my mind
And knit into my heel
All the time
Killing what I feel

And everything I touch [All wrapped up in cotton wool]
[All wrapped up and sugar coated]
Turns to stone
Everything I touch [All wrapped up in cotton wool]
[All wrapped up and sugar coated]
Turns stone

I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out

And everything I touch
Turns to stone Everything I touch [All wrapped up in cotton wool]
[All wrapped up and sugar coated]
Turns stone

This page presents what I feel is the most accurate version of the words sung on the album. I used the lyrics pages of Planet Telex, Green Plastic Radiohead, and At Ease as references (see links), as well as the liner notes published by Capitol Records.
Special thanks to Jim Roehl for scripting this page.
