SHOW ME
By
Garbage
***************
You could hear long before you could dream
You could walk
You could run long before you could sing
You could talk
Think about all the things you never say
And spit them out
And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me who you are
Show me
Show me now
It’s not as easy as it seems
The world is big
The sea is deep
There is no rope
There is no line
We’re specks of dust up in the sky
There is no space
There is no time
There’s only you and what we leave behind
And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me who you are
Show me
Show me now
And what we leave behind
And what we leave behind
And show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me how
Show me
Show me what we leave behind
And what we leave behind
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
Show me
What we leave behind
BRIGHT TONIGHT
***************
From the beginning, we were always going to fail
We were the next thing that the world could not wait to tear down
Off balance in our own minds
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long, we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You, my brightest star across the sky
You’re bright tonight
It was right now and then suddenly it’s gone
We were both wrong, but here we are, we’re right where we belong
Off balance in our own lives
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long, we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You, my brightest star across the sky
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You shine so bright
I HATE LOVE
***************
Your words are pretty but I already know who you are.
I knew you before you met me long before we would part.
Before you tricked me and laid on my bones.
Before you kissed me and buried my hope.
Before you stole stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall.
They shore you up. They lay all their dreams on you.
They let you in and you start to believe you’re soft as a miracle.
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.
Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool.
Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel.
And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies.
Love promises nothing and then your love dies.
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.
Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.
FELT
***************
Felt sure you felt something
Felt sure, but it really was nothing.
You felt, but you’re only guessing.
They’re only feelings baby, they’re only feelings.
Felt I’d left you hanging.
Felt sure I’d stopped myself caring.
You felt, that I’d stopped believing
They’re only feelings baby, they’re only feelings.
What is real? Is real reason?
What is real? Is real reason?
What is real? Is real reason?
What is real?
I still get you. Do you still get me?
Felt my skin on your skin.
Felt sure, sensations like raining.
You felt no logical thinking.
They’re only feelings baby, they’re only feelings.
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo

And I knew I was falling
And sure you had me sussed
You worked me out
You took me right out no doubt
Call me a lawyer
I want to micro manage
I need a hit man
Get me the operator
Call me a doctor
I cannot lose control
There must be someone
A robot, a terminator?
He got me eye balled
He got me tied down
He got me roller coaster
Help me man down
Don’t wanna talk about it
I know a lot about it
He got me on the ropes and I don’t like it
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one, the one for me
You might be the one for me
You might be

MAN ON A WIRE
***************
I looked into the mirror
What did I see?
There was a big black beast
Looking back at me
You looked into my eyes
What did you see?
You saw a big black beast
Magnified in me
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I was like a volcano
Just waiting to explode
But I have been resurrected, reborn
And I have been transformed
I was a green eyed monster
Could you tell I was afraid?
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
That’s right
Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt
I see you
Hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
You’re hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
