Alien Ant Farm
Anthology

01   Courage (03:32)

Contrary to the matter
Who you are, you are not
Come with me, I'll show you Saturn
Planets don't quite align

You should try not to be so courageous
You should try not to be so courageous

Chorus:
I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, you're misunderstanding
I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, you're misunderstanding

Traveled far for this lover
Who she was she was not
But honestly it don't matter
Aliens ain't farmers

You should try not to be so courageous
You should try not to be so courageous

Chorus

I never said you were
I never said you were
You got it all wrong
You got it all wrong

I never said you were
I never said you were
You got it all wrong
You got it all wrong

You should try not to be so courageous, remind me
This dismal moods have become contagious, remind me

You should try not to be so courageous
You should try not to be so courageous

Chorus

I never said you were
I never said you were
You got it all wrong
You got it all wrong

02   Movies (03:17)

At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong wrong
In summer we can taste the rain

I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

Two can play at this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain
In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw it
In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw it

I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
You won't cry, I won't scream

In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad and throw it
And if we make a little space
A science fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to bright face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away

I want you to be free
Don't worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

You won't cry, I won't scream

03   Flesh and Bone (04:30)

This moisture slides from my eyes
It glistens, it glistens
There's nowhere left to go now
If you teach me, I'll listen
A favorite time for mistakes
In salt lakes, we all shake
Consider me your apprentice
Repentant, yet hesitant

Please show me a sign

Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone

This image comes from somewhere
Who is it? Spiritual visit
Coincidence is one thing
Overwhelming, immaculate timing
Everything we had is gone
Something new has come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you, I love you

Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And I'll be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone

And I torn between halos, demons
All these words with cryptic meanings
Separate seasons
All these issues and mixed up feelings
And I have to choose

Everything we had is gone
Something new must come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you and I love you

Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And I'll be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone
Come inside, look around
I'll lift you off the ground
I snapped your ribs to make a lover
So you could share each other
Come inside, kneel

Remember

04   Whisper (03:27)

It's my arms that wrap you up nice
It's my arms, it's my arms, baby
Small rooms with record exec types
Whisper away my future lately

I'll introduce you
To producers
I'll write your songs and make them way damn shorter

Chorus:
I'm so confused
This industry has made me cold you'll find
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old

Shock me with fear it's taking longer
Blood, sweat, and years will make me way damn stronger

It's my words that fail to give insight
I blame you, blame me, baby

Chorus

It suits me just fine

This is the package I'm sending
These are the clothes that I'm wearing
These are the words that I'm saying
These are the notes they're playing

I'll introduce you to producers
I'll write your songs and make them way damn shorter

Chorus

And it suits me just fine

05   Summer (04:17)

So you finally 'fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling's dead

Several days have passed now
Darker then any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds

Chorus
Tried to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
If i was to let you go now
Things will be alright

Several weeks have passed now

Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it's so hard

Chorus

And it's so hard to get out of bed
She's impossible to get out of your head

Chorus

06   Sticks and Stones (03:18)

I liked you
You showed me
These calls must continue

Time is collapsing in my head
| built all the walls you can't come in
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last

Chorus:
Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone

Elegant thoughts i will not share
my symphonic silence.
I hope you can bare it baby
I liked you
You showed me
Exactly who i don't wanna to be

Chorus

I'll always look for you
I'll always look for you
No stone was left unturned

You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Cause you were the one that messed up

Chorus

Sticks and stones get shot through the telephone
With instant results, we're both left alone

07   Attitude (04:56)

Maybe I act on confused behavior
Maybe waves crash like semi-trailer
Maybe I'll spend my off-time without you
It seems like we need our own space

And all this time I've wasted away
To not feel good unless you stay, stay, stay
And all this time I've chased you away
Simply to catch back up with

Chorus:
Your solitude is welcome welcome
Your attitude is welcome welcome
Your solitude is welcome welcome
Your attitude is welcome

All you see is red lights behind me
Maybe this isn't what you wanted, baby
And I don't blame you falling backwards
No one's ever quite confused you this way

And all this time we wasted away
Don't feel good unless we're gray
And all the times I chased you away
I simply don't feel good

Chorus

You are welcome
You are welcome
You are welcome
You are welcome

All this time, we heard alarms
Come to find, we fell apart
This whole thing has crashed down, crashed down
All this time, we heard alarms

Chorus

You are welcome
You are welcome
You are welcome
You are welcome
Welcome welcome
Welcome welcome
Welcome welcome

08   Stranded (03:59)

Your waves come crashing down
Like a semi-auto trailer
I dive so deep in the sea
To avoid killer whales
A perfect moment here and gone
It has sailed
I'll use a hammerhead to drive
Rusty nail inside

Chorus:
I'm feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me

Imagine if our world was blue and weightless
I never meant to do wrong to you
You're my starfish

You moan a tone so low
beyond me
A telepathic subsonic frequency
I need a little air for emergency
You have to understand this urgency

I'm feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know if i had one
I'd spare us both these years

I'm feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
I'm feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if i had one
I'd spare us both these years

A sea anemone, you're my enemy (repeat 4x)

09   Wish (03:23)

Proud, proud is to hear it all yeah yeah
Proud ah proud, proud is to watch us fall yeah yeah
Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes, don't break mine

Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
don't break mine, don't break mine

Cold fire used to inspire all not now
These are tired, maybe they'll find their niche
Or resort to wish

Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes, don't break mine

Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
don't break mine, don't break mine

Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you've got the strength and the balls
Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you've got the strength and the balls

Chimes used to break my wish

Back... won't you bring him back? Not now

Chimes used to break my wish
won't you bring him back? Not now

Don't be low
Don't be low
Don't be low
you better watch the road, the road

Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you've got the strength and the balls
Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you've got the strength and the balls

Chimes used to break my wish

10   Calico (04:12)

(Musical Intro)

Soooooooooooooo Whoooooooooooa

So make it real
Just make it real

That's not a reason to fire me
That ain't no real reason
It's funny things just cheapen when we disagree
If things got any worse then cheap would turn free

Chorus:
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real
Just make it real
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real
Just make it real, real

Feel all the seasons flood through you and me
And see what trouble she's in, she's in
But that's not a reason to fire me
That ain't no real reason

Chorus 2:
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
It's hard to deal when all you do is feel

Campfires swell into monsterous things
That summer heat that's winter deep, that's winter deep

Bridge:
And all your wild winds
They couldn't stop me from flying

(Musical Interlude)

Soooooooooooo

So make it real
Just make it real

Chorus 2:
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
It's hard to deal when all you do is feel
Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain't too real

Just make it real
Just make it (Just make it, Just make it) Real
(Echo on second time)

(Musical Outro)

11   (Happy) Death Day (04:35)

12   Smooth Criminal (03:31)

As he came into the window
It was the sound of
A crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on
The carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was
Her doom

Annie, are you OK

So they came in through the outway
It was sunday - what a black day
I could feel your salutation
Sounding heartbeats -
Intimidations

Annie, are you OK

That he struck you - a crescendo Annie
(I don't know!)
He came into your apartment

Left the bloodstains on the carpet
(I don't know why baby!)
Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down
It was your doom
