Better With You lyrics - Ben Kweller
Throw it into the air
Take that last yellow
Ride downtown anywhere
Go so fast
Still come in last
Always comin' in last
Me
I don't know where I'd be
Without someone to see
This thing through
I am such a mess
Even at my best
I'm better with you
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Oh oh oh oh oh
Everybody knows
14 million ants are marching
Lonely as they go
Underground,
Round and round
City lights in your head
Life
This world is a crazy place
But when I see your face
It's shining anew
I don't even care
Just take me anywhere
Cause it's better with you
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Me
I don't know where I'd be
Without someone to see
This thing trough
Just stay here by my side
I know this and this ride
Its better with you
It's better with you
It's better with you
Her Father And Her lyrics - Ben Kweller
(originally by Adam Green)
Father owned the dating bar so mother ran the store
We all lived there together with the army at the door
No one to do my laundry or to tell me that they're sure
But there really is no me and there's no army at the door
I hustle my way to your bedside
I ride on your body like a cab ride
I carry refreshments to the good guys
I made the good guys some home fries
Pardon me anyone, where is the nearest shore?
We're all in this together and the police are at the door
Someone do my laundry or smash me through the floor
To the tropical vacation buried underneath the store
And I was your favorite bullfighter
Whose looks were new to your eyes
And I fell apart in that bullfight
Where the dress was the sky to your thighs
She said she had an hour
Her father was still in the shower
And she took me to her little tower
And she showed me her little flower
And just when I thought it was safe to put down my pen
She said, "Maybe I will let you fall in love with me again
Maybe I will let you fall for a loving me again"
And she showed me her badge and I think she said then
That I don't have the heart to tell you not to come
And everyone has hands just to use someone
And it makes me feel just like old gum
To ride a fake horse into town
To ride a lame horse into town
To ride a dead horse into town
To ride your big fuckin', fake fuckin', lame fuckin' dead horse into town
Holy Water lyrics - Ben Kweller
Please take away my pain and fear
Please take away my pain and fear
Try to sleep but the flame keeps burnin' hotter
Take me to the holy water
The dirt below my feet sayin' my name
The dirt below my feet yellin' my name
I'll try to prepare myself for this next chapter
Take me to the holy water
When they tied you down and tell you to stay awhile
When they tied you down and tell you to stay awhile
It's like bein' betrayed by the devil's dearest daughter
Take me to the holy water
And they farm the land so organized and bleak
Not recognizin' when the great spirit's creatures' speak
No more time
There's far too much red blood in the river
Take me to the holy water
Please take away my pain and fear
Please take away my pain and fear
Callin' out for any honest helper
Take me to the holy water
I Have The Power lyrics - Ben Kweller
It's nothing personal right?
I'll follow you around but
I don't wanna call anybody
Kiss her arm
All of the colors shine
That's where the sun dines
Leave me the fuck alone
Hurray for love
I have the power, I
I can make her do something, but only if it's one thing
I, I have the power
Yeah I, I can make her roll her eyes
Inside your outer space
Caring and ultra warm
I lay in your bed all night
Staring at your shoulder blades
Yeah, now that your colors shine
And I've fallen way behind
I'm not even on your mind
Yeah, you're so fucking kind
Hurray for love
I have the power, I
I can make her do something, but only if it's one thing
I, I have the power
Yeah I, I'm gonna make her
(You suck)
I can make her do something, but only if it's one thing
I, I have the power
Yeah I, I'm gonna make her
Oh I, I can make her, I got
I got the power to roll her eyes
I high hi high
I high hi high
I high hi high
I high hi high
I hye high hi
I hye high hi
I hye high hi
I hye high hi
It's Not Fair lyrics - Ben Kweller
You know that I don't like your smile
The one that you always give to him
For such a soft-spoken one
You give me the broken one
When you give that smile to him
And every day you find me a way to get burned
And every night time is my time to get love returned, too
Round and round and round I go
How could you possibly know?
It's not fair
It's not fair
Are you there?
You know that I don't like your eyes
Their one-thousand pounds make me sink
Whenever your ardency shows
I start to take off my clothes
Just because of your wink
And every day you find me a way to get burned
And every night time is my time to get love returned, too
Round and round and round I go
How could you possibly know?
It's not fair
It's not fair
Are you there?
What can I say
When things don't go my way?
I thought everything was too good to be true
And you...
I've got to get it all off my back
But most of it's up in my head
At least I'll have something that I understand
When I'm dead yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
It's Up To You lyrics - Ben Kweller
Looks like we found an escape for the public
The radio just hasn't played for seven years
New information for all the kids to soak up
My service down and I'm in tears
I am the make up and the tongue ring and the mindless
The man behind the desk names her the dollar sign
We dance around the rosies and the blazin' fire
And with devotion wait in line
You gotta do your own thing honey
And stay true
So please make us believers honey
Don't you ever leave us honey
It's up to you
Don't be so pressured to pay your debt to America
You're young just do your thing you'll see you're not alone
The phetile girl seems to be much more important
Than the baby girl that's born
Climb through the atmosphere and hang out with some colour
We stop and scratch our heads and think like taking drugs
We are the cops, the crooks, the cats, the blind, the genius
It's time to take out your ear plugs
'Cause you gotta do your own thing honey
And you'll make it through
So please let us cry on your shoulder honey
You make me feel so much older honey
It's up to you
Hey you gotta do your own thing honey
And stay true
So please make us believers honey
Don't you ever leave us honey
It's up to you
It's up to you now
It's up to you
Killer Bee lyrics - Ben Kweller
All my dreams
Hovering
On the verge I can't resist
The urge to put them on the list
Killer bee
How's your sting?
You won the prize and didn't cheat
But really I just can't compete
It's hard to tell
If it's any good
It's rude to yell
But I wish I would
I'd sing every word if I only could
That's what I get for bein' misunderstood
All the time
Mostly I'm
In the crowd just taking in
The simple pain that strikes again
Killer bee
Carry me
Toss me like a castaway
To hide what I was gonna say
It's hard to tell
If it's any good
It's rude to yell
But I wish I would
I'd sing every word if I only could
That's what I get for bein' misunderstood
It's hard to tell
If I'm any good
It's hard to yell
When I know I should
I'd sing every word if I only could
That's what I get for bein' misunderstood
That's what I get for bein' misunderstood
SHS-10R lyrics - Ben Kweller
I don't like to get high but I won't pass it by
How could you ask for more MD-74
Come with me on a slow ride
Run out of gas on the road side
You can't make my fat bass hide if I say it it's so!
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
And I'm cruising the town from time to time
And I'm making ya frown from rhyme to rhyme
With my red board of keys
We're going to Beverleys
I travel around the world where my heart is my home
I keep on minding my own so they leave me alone
But all the rappers from L.A. to New York City I pity
'Cause I'm combining Texas with midi
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
World peace ain't so far with my SHS-10R
Today lyrics - Ben Kweller
(originally by Smashing Pumpkins)
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day...
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever known
Venice lyrics - Modern Love Child & Ben Kweller
It's getting too late to call back east
I'm with the zombies out in Venice beach
I met a lady, she's down the street
She don't speak but she sings in her sleep
We woke up at her place
She keeps her drugs in a camera case
4 pm still in bed
She rolled over and then she said
Someday maybe not today
I'll make a change
I will be sane
Sometime, maybe not this time
I'll make a change
I met Molly on a sunny day
And I fell in love with west LA
The traffic is heavy, it's just like my heart
I'm moving quickly but I'm not getting far
Someday maybe not today
I'll make a change
I will be sane
Sometime, maybe not this time
I'll do it right
I'll make it just how you like
Someday, maybe not today
Sometime, maybe not this time
I'll make a change
I will be sane
Sometime, maybe not this time
I'll do it right
I'll make it just how you like
Someday, maybe not today
I'll make a change
