Longview (Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia 11/14/97)

Lyrics

[Intro] Alright The beautiful people, the beautiful people The beautiful people, the beautiful people (The beautiful people, the beautiful people) (The beautiful people, the beautiful people) [Verse 1] I sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on I change the channels for an hour or two Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit I'm sick of all the same old (Shit) In a house with unlocked doors, and I'm fuckin' lazy [Chorus] Bitе my lip and close my eyes Takе me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And I smell like shit [Verse 2] Well, peel me off this Velcro seat and get me moving I sure as hell can't do it by myself I'm feeling like a dog in heat Barred indoors from the summer street I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key [Chorus] Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And I smell like shit [Bridge] I got no motivation Where is my motivation? No time for motivation Smoking my inspiration [Verse 3] I sit around and watch the phone, but no one's calling Call me pathetic, call me what you will My mother says to get a job But she don't like the one she's got (When masturbation's lost its fun, you're fucking lonely) [Chorus] Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind And loneliness has to suffice Bite my lip and close my eyes I'm slipping away to paradise Some say quit or I'll go blind But it's just a myth [Outro] Alright, this next song comes off our record called Kerplunk This song's called "2000 Light Years Away"
