Electra Made Me Blind (03:43)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

I shake the dust from this small town
I turn and follow the western wind down
I go and pack up my shiny things
Amd go, yeah just go

I'll find a new life in old L.A.
Yeah, stupid happy with everything
I pulled myself down so easily
I know, I know, I know

I met Electra when living down
saw her spinning around and around
I never knew much about her past
I knew enough that I didn'task

living isn't a simple thing
I know
no one said it's supposed to be
I know

July she lied. . .

living isn't a simple thing for me
I know ways to make it easier

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

I used to know a girl...
She had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo
We'd drink that Mexican beer
We'd live on mexican food
Yeah, I wish I could go back
Yeah, back in time

Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would never leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
But they don't understand
That i'm happy in hell
With my Heroin Girl
Yeah, with my Heroin girl

Esther used to be
The kind of lover that you would never leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yeah, but they don't understand
I am losing myself in a white trash hell
Lost inside a Heroin girl

They found her out in the fields
About a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
But the body was cold
I heard a policeman say
Just another overdose...
Just another overdose!!

Esther used to be
The kind of lover that you would never leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I need for my disease
Yeah, she would do anything

You Make Me Feel Like a Whore (02:47)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

I took your word like it was gospel
I'm so eager to believe
Yeah I like it when
You talk to me

It feels so good
Inside your shadow;
It's the place I need to be
Yeah you know
I need to climb
You like a tree

There is this place inside
Where all the good things die
Sometimes I feel like a whore
Sometimes I feel like a whore

I hate the way I am around you
I'm so nervous and weird
Sometimes I feel like I'm
Breathing underwater

You treat me like I am on fire
Like I'm something to eat
You make me hate what I see
When I see me

Yeah I dream of the day
When I learn how to make you pay
Someday I'll teach you to beg
Some day, some day
Yes I live for the day
When I can hear you say
You make me feel
Like a whore

Yes I dream of the time
When I can make you mine
Maybe then I'll feel half alive
More alive,
so alive
There is this place inside
Where all the good things die

You make me feel like a whore

Santa Monica (03:11)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game

With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall back crutch anymore

I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore

I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die

Summerland (03:42)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

let's just drive your car
we can drive all day
let's just get the hell away from here
for i am sick again
just plain sick to death
of the sound of my own voice

we can leave behind
another wasted year
let's get some cheap red wine
and just go flying

we can do the things
all the things you wanted to
no one cares about us anyway

i think i lost my smile
i think you lost yours too
we have lost the power
to make each other laugh
let's just leave this place
and go to summerland
it's just a name on the map
it sounds like heaven to me

we can find a town
be just how we want to be
no one here really cares about us anyway
we can find a place
make it what we want to be
no one really gives a fuck about us anyway

we can live
live just how we want to live
no one here really cares about us anyway
we can be
everything we want to be
we can get lost in the
fall, glimmer, sparkle, and fade

the sparkle and fade
fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade
fall, glimmer, sparkle and fade

forget about our jobs
at the record store
forget about all the
losers that we know
forget about all the
memories that keep you down
forget about them
we can lose them in the
sparkle and fade
fade...

the sparkle and fade
fall, glimmer, sparkle, and fade...

Strawberry (02:35)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

Never been here, never coming back
Never want to think about the things
That happened today
Want to lay down on
the warm ground
I think I'm going to need
A little time to myself

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

I ask you for a slow ride
Going nowhere
You look like Satan
You ask me if I want to get high
Couple of bags down in old town
You tie your arm and
Ask me if I wanted to drive

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

Last thing I recall
I was in the air
I woke up on the street
Crawling with my strawberry burns
Ten long years in a straight line
They fall like water
Yes, I guess I fucked up again

Don't fall down now
You will never get up
Don't fall down now

(Oriignally a 'Colorfinger' song)

Time stops when the whispers blare
The voices drop hard,
But the eyes still stare
The world resolves into a
Death's head grin
Because i walk with pride
With a black girlfriend

My mom said not to bring her around
Cause she's black
My family would put her down
I'll break the white-trash
Ties that bind
Trade a love so pure for
A hate so blind

She said -- she said
Forget the fact that i don't
Look like you
She said -- she said
You're possessed with a power
Bigger than the pain

Time stops when we lie so close
In my room where we share
What no one knows

From the day that we start
Until the day that we end
I know i know i know now
We will never find a place
Where we could just fit in

Me and my black girlfriend

She said -- she said
Fend for yourself -- you're alone
She said -- she said
You are possessed with a power
Bigger than the pain

A power bigger than the pain

The Twistinside (04:37)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

We have been sleeping with the lights on
Just about every night
Because we were afraid what the dark might bring
I know, I know it's just a childish fear
That grows and grows wild in the middle of me

I'm gonna get a new tattoo
Black and stretching round my arm
Like a life that is visible and real
I know, I know it's stupid and immature
I just want to give shape to the face
That twists inside
Both you and me

Breathing fire doesn't look good on a resume
Neither does anything else we do
We got to get ready for the real world
Yeah yeah we got to grow up

You know I like to die for a while
Everyday in the afternoon
I like to let the arms of a bar
Wrap around me tight
I'm just gonna sprawl in the front booth
Big drink above my head
Cross eyed and smiling as I watch the world
Go twisting by

I don't want to die with you
Or live in the same dark room
I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more
I just want to take this girl- all curls and big brown eyes
Man I can't shake the pain
Of wanting her, needing her

I know the secret of your soul
And I just don't want to know
Yeah, man we got to grow up

There is this rumor about
They say you're leaving Nehalem
Ever since our baby died
You've been seen with another guy
The whole damn town is talking now
They say you're leaving Nehalem

Hey don't you want me to go?
Hey don't you want me?

They say you're losing your mind
They say you're leaving Nehalem
You know how the bad words get around
Big noise in a hard small town

Tell me if you want me to go
Just tell me if you want me

They say you're leaving Nehalem
They say you're leaving me

Yeah, I know you need to break away
I don't give a fuck about what those people say
I hope you fing everywhere you go
All the good things that you need to know

They say you're losing your mind
They say you're leaving Nehalem
There is this rumor out
They say you're leaving Nehalem
They say you're leaving me
They say you're leaving Nehalem
I know you're leaving me
I know you're leaving Nehalem

I know you're leaving me

Queen of the Air (02:59)

Everclear • Sparkle and Fade

There is a dream I used to have
My dream swallowed me whole
There is a bridge where I hate to go
That is where I first saw her
High on a bridge
I seen her red hair shining

There is a girl-I never knew
She was my Aunt Virginia
They said that she-she just disappeared
They said I look just like her

High on the bridge I seen her
Dancing, waving to me there
She smiled and raised her head
Then she took to the Air

There is a dream I can't escape
My memories come back to me
There is a hell that I can't escape
My memories come back to me

I heard the truth about it
Pictures and headlines hidden away
I heard the truth about my real mom
Jumping from the bridge that day

Now I know why ever since I was 3 years old
Been having the same nightmare
Now I know the truth about Virginia
Why she took to the Air
