EVERGREEN TERRACE LYRICS

1. Maniac

[Michael Sembello Cover]

Just a still town girl on a saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy

Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

On the ice-build iron sanity is a place most never see
It's a hard warm place of mystery, touch it, but you can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night

There's a cold connective heat, struggling, stretching for defeat
Never stopping with her head against the wind

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

2. Zero

[Smashing Pumpkins Cover]

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm in the face of your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me
She's all I really need oh yeah
Cause she's the one for me

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
Cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me

Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fasion victims chew their charcoal teeth

I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down

You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more

She's the one for me
She's all I really need oh yeah
She's the one for me
She's my one and only

3. Plowed

[Sponge Cover]

Will I wake up
Is it a dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
What will change us
Or will we mess up
Our only chance to connect with a dream

Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound

In a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage

I'm lost and I'm found
And I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound

To see wide open
With a head that's broken
Hang a life on a tragedy
Plow me under the ground
That covers the message
That is the seed

Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me
Say a prayer for me, say a prayer for me
I'm buried by the sound

In a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage

I'm lost and I'm found
And I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound

Will I wake up
Is it a dream I made up
No I guess it's reality...

4. Stars

[Hum Cover]

She thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars
She thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars

She's not at work, she's not at school
She's not in bed, i think i finally broke her
I bring her home everything i want, nothing that she needs

I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars

I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead
A crumpled yellow piece of paper, seven nines and tens

I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting stars

I thought you'd be there holding daisies, you always wait for me
She thinks she missed the train to mars, she's out back counting...

5. Knowledge

[Operation Ivy Cover]

I know that things are getting tougher
When you cant get top off from the bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now...
Its looking fucking narrow

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

We get told to decide
Just like as if im not gonna change my mind

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy better make up your mind
Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy
You're running out of time

This time I got it all figured out

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

Thats fine

6. Mad World

[Tears for Fears Cover]

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very

Mad world, mad world, mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very

Mad world, mad world, mad world, mad world

Mad world, mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world, mad world
If I'm in your world
Mad World

7. The Kids Aren't Alright

[Offspring Cover]

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighbourhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighbourhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
shattered dreams

Jenny had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon od'd and fucking died
What the hell is going on
The cruellest dream, reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
shattered dreams

8. Sunday Bloody Sunday

[U2 Cover]

I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...

Tonight... we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle we've begun
To claim the victory Jesus won

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...

Tonight... we can be as one
Tonight...

(tonight) sunday bloody sunday
(tonight) sunday bloody sunday
Lets go

Sunday, bloody sunday

9. Dying Degree

[Nofx Cover]

Dresser drawers are filled with pocket change
Coupons out, cigarettes smoked down to the butt,
Is this what dreams are made
Adding up subtracting down you find
Yourself sucking the rind

Dying degree, graying amie

Final payment made - had you forgot?
The rightful owner of one deluxe cemetery plot
Paisley satin lined how apprapoe
What a better way to go

Dying degree, graying amie

No more eating crumbs
When my pension finally comes
You kids won't eat mush anymore 'round me

Dying degree, graying amie
