Smash Mouth : Summer Girl

Lyrics


1. THE CRAWL

Hey cousin, I know you
Not long ago in the city zoo
You haven't changed
You still ain't standin' up straight
And I been thinkin' 'bout what we've become
Or what we haven't, just look what we've done

Still making fire out of sticks and stones
Standing united all together alone

Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea

Hey sister how you been
Last time you saw me I was wearing a fin
Times haven't changed, I'm still swimmin'
Got to the top to get myself some air
I realized that it was better down there

It's like a jungle but there ain't no laws
No helping hands just grubby paws

Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea

My naked eye saw a fly in a jar with a hole in the lid
To tell his kid exactly where not to go
I saw the puppet string screwed into his head
I heard the puppet lie
I felt the banner shred
I can smell the smoke
As well as a rat
I can teach that dog
I can learn from a cat
Throw it in reverse
So I can hit erase
I can taste the blood

Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea

2. EVERYDAY SUPERHERO

Every morning I wake up just the same
Another victim of ordinary fame
I don't see myself as invincible
It's not true at all

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am

Just a day job that's someone's gotta do
It's kinda hard when everyone looks up to you
Try to make it look easy, gonna make it look good
Like anybody would

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am

I'm just like everybody else
After all the hype it's hard to tell
I keep my game face on so well

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
I'm trying to save the world
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero

Trying to save the world
I try to hide my true identity
But no one knows it's only me

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
I'm trying to save the world
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Trying to save the world, but never really sure
I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero
Nothing more than that, that's all I really am

I'm just your average ordinary everyday superhero

3. SO INSANE

Have you looked at the stop watch lately?
When was the last time you clocked-in?
There is a race to be run and a song to be sung
There is a fine line wearin' thin

So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear

We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away

Have ya checked out the temperature lately
There's a fever that's about to break
There is a game to be won and a song to be sung
This is our battle cry, make no mistake

So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear

We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away

So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear

We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away

We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away


4. GIRL LIKE YOU

I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you

You standing in a queue
Walking through the Louvre
With your mother
Hi, took me by the eye
Caught me in the hang, undercover

I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you

Show someone how to grow
Make a garden be out of nothing
You beating at the moon
Barking up a tree
Stark running

I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you

Living in a rocky world
Listen to the mockingbird
Listen when your mama says
Baby come home, real home

I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you

5. GETAWAY CAR

You caught me lookin' at ya lookin' at me
Devil on my shoulder says you're what I need
Go on baby girl you know what I like
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Sunday night

I've got a car I'll let you drive
I've got a cave where we can hide
It's 2 am do you know where you are
Getaway car

A lot of funny people in this funny world
I'm a funny man for a funny girl
You got a mini skirt, I've got a mini bar and a:
Getaway car

Ain't nothing like it
A shiny machine
If you could just drive it
I'll show you where to put the gasoline

Don't wanna do it like they do on TV
Don't wanna mess around with movies
Don't tell your daddy, don't tell the police
Let's just keep it between you and me
I'm like everybody here tonight
I've got a short fuse I just need a light
Go on baby girl you know what I want

Getaway car

6. STORY OF MY LIFE

I get to the party, but I'm too late
And I got stood up on my very first date
I listen to country and everybody goes rock
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops

It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
But here I go again

And I say
Hey that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no I'm overdrawn
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me I don't know what to think
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life

I pick a slot machine and lose it all again
But when I walk away, someone else always wins
When she finally calls me, I forget my phone
And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed

It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends the same
And here I go again

Hey that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no I'm overdrawn
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me I don't know what to think
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life

Just when it seems like it's turnin' 'round for me
There's always something that ends up happening
I found my car but I can't find my keys

I get to the party a little too late
And once again the music stops to play

Hey that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no I'm overdrawn
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me I don't know what to think
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life


7. RIGHT SIDE, WRONG BED

The pages of the calendar
Are flyin' off faster as I get old
And if I had a second take
I'd wanna make the same mistakes
Except for the clothes

And the part about the one that got away
When I was blind I fell behind
And here I've gotta stay

And I'm lying here wonderin'
Is it finally sinkin' in
To my weary heart, my foolish pride
And my stubborn head

I woke up on the right side, I woke up on the right side
On the right side of the wrong bed

I'm starin' at the autumn stars
And wondering if you are starin' too
And every little satellite
And aeroplane that passes by
Just leaves me blue

Chasin' my tail like the second hand
Chases those grains of sand
In that television hourglass

And I'm lying here wonderin'
Is it finally sinkin' in
To my weary heart, my foolish pride
And my stubborn head

I woke up on the right side, I woke up on the right side
On the right side of the wrong bed

Chasin' my tail like the second hand
Chases those grains of sand
In that television hourglass

And I'm lying here wonderin'
Is it finally sinkin' in
To my weary heart, my foolish pride
And my stubborn head

I woke up on the right side, I woke up on the right side
On the right side of the wrong bed
On the right side of the wrong bed



8. SUMMER GIRL

Summer girl, melting me
Hopelessly drifting out to sea
Let me take you to the old arcade
I got a pocket full of sandy change

Don't know much but I have a clue
You've never owned a pair of shoes
When winter comes, promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be

My summer girl, ever brown
You're laughing as I'm sinking down
Behind your shades, do you know
How to save a drowning soul

Sunny days are way too long
I'm out of place where you belong
When darkness falls, promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl

The leaves are slowly turning golden brown
I'll be here when you get back into town

Don't know much but I have a clue
You've never owned a pair of shoes
When winter comes, promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl

9. HEY L.A.

There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room
There's a meter maid she arrives by broom
There's a bear in the air with a lullaby
And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night

There's a money tree
And the ladder leans up against the trunk
But the steps are greased

Hey L.A.
Where you from
Where have you gone now
Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed
In Babylon

There's a plastic man with a plastic knife
In a rubber hand at a drastic price
Don't miss this show you will be amazed
You're a shining star, a needle in the haze
There's a man upstairs
With the fire below
There's the elevator
And away you go

Hey L.A.
Where you from
Where have you gone now
Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed
In Babylon

There's a smooth operator
There's a famous Governator
Everybody walks in L.A.
On a backward escalator

It's a soul terminator
It's a sea of alligators
On each and every corner
There's a broken hearted waiter

Hey L.A.
Where you from
Where have you gone now
Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed
In Babylon

10. QUALITY CONTROL

They've swept up the rubbish
And took out the garbage
No more noise pollution in the air
Just smog

Well sooner than later
Under the radar
They're starting a revolution off the air

C.C. I've got your quality control

They've cleared up the channels
Program and progress
If you haven't noticed you have just been whored
And turned out

Behind the receiver
The silver deceiver
Well we ain't bending over anymore
We've tuned out

C.C. I've got your quality control

Goin' to bed with an industry death wish
On an idolless pillow
Sleeping with the fish
The lottery winners they're all talkin'
But sayin' nothin' and soon they'll be walkin'

They've swept up the rubbish
And took out the garbage
Program and progress
If you didn't notice
Sooner than later, under the radar
We're starting a revolution off the air

C.C. I've got your quality control

11. BEAUTIFUL BOMB

Your asteroids bounce off her like a trampoline
Sometimes all she can do is shake
Lookin' out for you and I and all she sees
Is everybody makin' big mistakes
Takin' what they should just leave
It's given away for free now

Beautiful bomb
It's so beautiful

Fools talkin' 'bout there's enough room for just one of us
Sometimes all I can do is laugh
But the joke is getting tired and old and dangerous
And the ink ran out on the laugh-o-meter graph
I suggest you fire your staff
It's getting so obnoxious

Beautiful bomb
We're living on a beautiful bomb
We're living on a beautiful bomb
It's so beautiful
