A Boy Named Goo (1995)












Long Way Down lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Oh, here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out?
Did they throw you away?

Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me, I'm not there
Almost human, but I'll never be the same

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down
I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
There's nothing I could say

Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
I never put you down
I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to grey

Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
On my own
On my own

Burnin' Up lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Said you're burnin' up inside and no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell

Life is pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside and no one cares

Said you had enough this time cuz time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence, while I drew parallels

Life, it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt me
(Really hurt me)
(Oh, you hurt me)

Try to take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start
Cuz every word that left your lips is like a needle through my heart

And life, it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes

Naked lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Yeah I'm fadin' and I call out
No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word

Weighed down
Safe now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say

Weighed down
Safe now

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone

Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care

You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone

Flat Top lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

Flat top intervention
Bringin' home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground

A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
A-sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Just look at all the washed out Hippie dreams

And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear

And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV

And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while

And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
And assasination plots show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
Show it all to me

And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile

Impersonality lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

When I was three feet tall
I loved the mall
And lived life for myself
Fallin' down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt

Watching life in Oz Thanksgivin' Eve on Grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout, I'd twist and shout for everyone to see

Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me

Mama's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth

Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now, but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see

Never got to know you
Did you ever wonder why?
Now it's nice to know ya
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all?
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your reality

Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me
Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me

Name lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
