Weezer - Weezer (Deluxe Edition) Lyrics
My Name Is Jonas
My name is Jonas
I'm carryin' the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us
But this is how we feel
Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it
The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket costs only your mind
The driver said, "Hey man, we go all the way"
Of course we were willing to pay
My name is Wepeel
Got a box full of your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still making noise, making noise
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother
The building's not going as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
Yeah
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My name is Jonas

No One Else
My girl's got a big mouth
With which she blabbers a lot
She laughs at most everything
Whether it's funny or not
And if you see her
Tell her it's over now
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else
My girl's got eyeballs
In the back of her head
She looks around and around
You know it makes me sad to see her like that
Please don't believe her, she says that for anyone
And if you see her
Tell her it's hey hey hey hey
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else
And if you see her
Tell her it's over now
And if you see her
Tell her it's over now
And if you watch her go
Watch her, watch her, watch her, watch her, watch her
I want a girl who will laugh for no one else
When I'm away she puts her makeup on the shelf
When I'm away she never leaves the house
I want a girl who laughs for no one else, no one else, yeah

The World Has Turned And Left Me Here
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by intellect
Or maybe you didn't
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my fac
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place, an empty space
Has filled the void behind my face
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe what I sing now?
Do you believe?
Do you?

Buddy Holly
What's with these homies dissin' my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?
(Ooh ooh) But you know I'm yours
(Ooh ooh) And I know you're mine
(Ooh ooh) And that's for all of time
Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that
Don't you ever fear, I'm always near
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian
(Ooh ooh) And you know I'm yours
(Ooh ooh) And I know you're mine
(Ooh ooh) And that's for all of time
Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that
Bang bang knockin' on the door
Another bang bang get down on the floor
Oh no, what do we do?
Don't look now but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
Whatsa matter babe, are you feelin' sick?
Whatsa matter, whatsa matter, whatsa matter you?
Whatsa matter, babe, are you feelin' blue?
Oh
And that's for all of time
And that's for all of time
Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that
I don't care 'bout that

Surf Wax America
The sea is foamin' like a bottle of beer
The wave is comin but I ain't gonna fear
I'm waxin' down so that I'll go real fast
I'm waxin' down because it's really a blast
I'm goin' surfin 'cause I don't like your face
I'm bailin' out because I hate the race
Of rats that run round and round in the maze
I'm goin' surfin', I'm goin' surfin'
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
My buddies and their honeys all come along
They seem invincible as they surf along
The sea is rollin' like a thousand pound keg
We're goin' surfin', we're goin' surfin'
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
All along the undertow is strengthening it's hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home
All along the undertow is strengthening it's hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
All along the undertow is strengthening it's hold
I never thought it'd come to this
Now I can never go home
You take your car to work
I'll take my board
And when you're out of fuel
I'm still afloat
You take your car, I'll take my board
You take your car, I'll take my board
Let's go

Say It Aint So
Oh yeah
Alright
Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes
Oh yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside
Flip on the Tele
Wrestle with Jimi
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heart breaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a water slide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heart breaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
Dear daddy
I write you in spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heart breaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker

In The Garage
I've got a Dungeon Master's Guide
I've got a 12-sided die
I've got Kitty Pryde
And Nightcrawler too
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
I've got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group KISS
I've got Ace Frehley
I've got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
I've got an electric guitar
I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
And I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
In the garage (yeah)
In the garage
I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the garage
I feel safe
No one laughs about my ways
In the garage
Where I belong
No one hears me
No one hears me
No one hears me
No one hears me
No one hears me
sing this song
in the garage
in the garage

Holiday
Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday, far away
Let's go today
In a heartbeat
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Don't bother to pack your bags
Or your map
We won't need them where we're goin'
We're goin' where the wind is blowin'
Not knowin' where we're gonna stay
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday, far away
To stay
On a holiday, far away
Let's go today
In a heartbeat
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Heartbeat, heartbeat
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse
We will write a postcard
To our friends and family
In free verse
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Let's go away for a while
You and I
To a strange and distant land
Where they speak no word of truth
But we don't understand anyway
Holiday
Far away, to stay
On a holiday, far away
To stay, on a holi
Let's go away
Let's go away
Let's go away
Just let's go away (in a heartbeat)

Only In Dreams
You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She's in your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air (in the air)
In between molecules
Of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says, "hey baby
I just might take the chance"
You say "it's a good thing
That you float in the air
That way there's no way
I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces"
Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
Only in dreams
Only in dreams
Only in dreams
Only in dreams
Only in dreams
Only in dreams

Mykel and Carli
Back in Wilson High
I had two best friends
They lived down the block
Where Eagle Court bends
One she cared for my bones
Fed me ice cream cones
One she cared for my happiness
Wouldn't leave me alone
Back in Wilson High
Said I had these two best friends
Till the school bus came
And took my friends away
Now I'm left alone at home
To sit and think all day
Hear you me, Mykel
Hear you me, Carli
They gave me a hat
The hat was awful rad
Wore it every day
Made my teacher mad
She tore it off my head
Now my head's well-read
My head gets cold at night sometimes
But I can't be misled
Hear you me, Mykel
Hear you me, Carli

Susanne
Susanne, you're all that I wanted of a girl
You're all that I need in the world
I'm your child, make me blush, drive me wild
Susanne, you're all that I wanted
When I met you I was all alone
Cold and hungry cryin' on the phone
You baked me brownies and said "don't you cry"
And gave me the coat off your back
Chorus
Even Izzy, Slash and Axl Rose
When I call you put 'em all on hold
And say to me that you'd do anything
And all I can do is say that
I haven't much I can give you in return
Only my heart and a promise not to turn
But I sing to you every day and every night
Susanne, I'm your man
Chorus

My Evaline
My Eveline
Say you'll be mine
Won't you come and let me whisper in your ear
Way down yonder in the old corn field
For you I pine
Sweeter than the honey
To the honey bee
I love you say you love me
Meet me in the shade
Of the old apple tree

Jamie
Jamie, what you doin' now?
What you doin' now girl?
Please, please tell me
'Cause I need to know, I need to know now
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know
Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
Jamie, what you doin' now?
Who's dialin' your car phone?
Please, please be true
You know that I trust you, do that which you must do
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know
Jamie, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
You've got the Beach Boys, your firm's got the Stones
But I know you won't leave me alone
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
You are the most, you're so rad, you're so fresh
And I'm so glad
I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting, waiting
Jamie, oh, Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time
Jamie, believe me, I won't let you down
'Cause you are the best lawyer in town
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
I love you so much, I love you so muchme so much
I love you so much, I love you so much

Paperface
Amy Moore blew her top
Stole a car, shot a cop
Sped away 2000 miles
Didnt stop until she hit New Orleans
But thats alright
Theres just one thing
Her wedding ring, or anything
She left behind, forgot to pack
How the hell is she gonna get it back?
Paperface
Paperface
I never heard of paperface
Until i moves to the west coast
Where i found that to be smooth
I had to wear a paperface
Thats alright
Theres just one thing
How am I supposed to sing
With this thing in my way
With this thing...
In my face
Paperface
Paperface
Only hope to see
See whats underneath
Only hope to be
The me thats underneath
Amy Moore blew her top
Stole a car, shot a cop
Sped away 2000 miles
Didnt stop until she hit New Orleans
But thats alright
Theres just one thing
Her wedding ring, or anything
She left behind, forgot to pack
How the hell is she gonna get it back?
Paperface, paperface, paperface, paperface!
Hup, hup, etc (freakout)

Lullabye For Wayne
Summer 1988
Never though you'd graduate
Playin with your guns all day
If only they could see you now
And how you've learned to shoot so well
They wouldn't talk that way
[Chorus:]
Wayne, you know it's true
There's nothing you can do
So put those guns away
Who cares it's wrong or right
So please give up the fight
And put those guns away
All of your freinds are through
They've given up what they tried to do
See now how happy they are
Each with a new lease on life
A brand new car and a milage wife
Doo doo doo doooo doo doo...

I Swear Its True
It's been two and a half years now that we've been apart
I've been kinda spaced out lately
Can't seem to get you out of my mind
I really miss you, girl
I really do
You think I'm crazy but I swear it's true
You think I'd have given up
Found somebody new
But no girl's got what you got
I belong to you
I really miss you, girl
I really do
You think I'm crazy but I swear it's true
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I really miss you, girl
I really do
You think I'm crazy but I swear it's true
I swear it's true
I really do
I swear it's true
