Weezer - Van Weezer Album Lyrics

Hero

When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
Shooting lasers from my eyes
But now I know it never was my destiny
It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame
And I don't wanna wear this cape

'Cause on the inside (on the inside), I know it won't last
On the inside (on the inside), I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down
They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown
It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery
But life is hard enough with one identity
If silence is the voice of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist
Then disappear like I don't exist

And on the inside (on the inside), I know it won't last
On the inside (on the inside), I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

All the Good Ones

I met her buyin' iced tea at the corner mini-mart
She was thirsty, I was hungry for a start
With somebody who wouldn't break my heart
Like the last one, but this one
She plays for all the marbles
Her Nietzsche books are conversation starters
And damn, I think I loved her from the first sight, I saw the light
The clouds opened up, rest in piece, goodnight

All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)
I'm blown away and I don't even know her name
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)

Rock and roll sounds better in the car
I just love the way she plays guitar
When she dives down on the whammy bar
She'll be stuck on repeat, repeat in my head
Got me checkin' my pulse, makin' sure I'm not dead
Oh yeah

All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)
I'm blown away and I don't even know her name
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)

I thought all of the good ones are gone
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)
I'm blown away and I don't even know her name
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from?)
All of the good ones are gone (where did you come from now, baby?)
All of the good ones are gone (all along, feeling so alone now)
All of the good ones are gone (we could play Family Feud)
All of the good ones are gone (so where did you come from?)

Yeah

The End of the Game

Hey, Suzy, where you been today?
I'm looking for you every way
No sign of you when I wake up
I'm on an island with no sun

I feel like I've known you my whole life
You got me crying like when Aslan died
Now you're gone

The melody can't find you
I'm incomplete without you
I guess we've reached the end of the game
Oh ooh, hit me!

I know that you would crank this song
Air-guitaring with your headphones on
We dig the same type of melodies
The ones that get you next to me

I was Mick and you were Marianne (Marianne)
You would harmonize when I felt bad (I felt bad)
But now you're gone

The melody can't find you
I'm incomplete without you
I guess we've reached the end of the game
Oh ooh, hit me!
Oh ooh

Am I your go-to or am I uncool?
With all of these extremes that I go to
All I want is to be wanted by you
All I want is to be wanted by you

But the melody can't find you
I'm incomplete without you
I guess we've reached the end of the game
Oh ooh, hit me!

Oh ooh, hit me!
Oh ooh, hit me!
Oh ooh, hit me!

I Need Some of That

Summer time, I press rewind
And go back to a simple place
When I was just a little punk
Daydreaming of my escape
Listening to Aerosmith
Later on I will call my mom
Now I'm pluggin' in to a Marshall stack
I can be anything I want

I need some of that
It's just what I need
I need some of that
We'll be riding our ten-speeds
I need some of that
Even if we blow up
We're never gonna grow up
This is where it's at

I've been around, around the world
And I've seen all kinds of hoods
But this is mine, it's dear to me
'Cause here, I'm understood

'Cause I need some of that
Don't ever leave me
I need some of that
There's nothing on TV
I need some of that
Even if we blow up
We're never gonna grow up
This is where it's at

Even when the sun was fading
I was in my hatchback raging
Riding up and down this block
'Cause I own this block

I need some of that
It's just what I need
I need some of that
We'll be riding our ten-speeds
Even if we blow up
We're never gonna grow up
'Cause this is where it's at

I need some of that
Shake it up, baby
I need some of that
You're driving me crazy
I need some of that
Even if we blow up
we're never gonna grow up
'Cause I need some of that

What bus is that? One?
Mm-hm
Okay, this is top secret shit, you're not supposed to, like, film these boards
It's got all our ideas on it
Plus, you're not supposed to film him
Yeah, you can't film me
He's copyrighted
Can't film what?
I've got a copyright on this face
So you're saying that I can't do this?
No you can't do that, you can't film

Beginning of the End

Knocking on my door they tell me it's time to go on
Last check in the mirror to see if anything's wrong
The writing's up on the wall
A warning shot to them all

My head is spinning, it's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared
My head is spinning, it's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared

Nostradamus predicted a bomb would drop
And all our guitars will be humming in old pawn shops
Watch us brush off the dust, in heavy metal we trust
Then kick back and read The Sunday Times

My head is spinning, it's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared

Fifteen hundred thousand years
Wouldn't be enough to dry these tears
I'll still be here hanging on, and on, and on
Things will never be the same
Save the pieces of your brain

My head is spinning, it's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared
My head is spinning, it's the beginning of the end
The people freak out when I walk out there, so scared

Blue Dream

The fishes are my friends
Underneath the sea
Swimmin' all around
They want to be with me
The octopus says, "Hi"
I say, "How do you do?"
He's quite the gentleman
To give me eight salutes

I'm at home here
In this blue dream
Since I found out
You don't want me (you don't want me)

Everyone gets lei'd
When they get to the beach
I bet you really wish
You were here with me
I jumped off the deep end (I jumped off the deep end)
Left it all ashore (left it all ashore)
What I have to lose? (What I have to lose?)
I've been through this before (I've been through this before)

I'm at home here
In this blue dream
Since I found out
You don't want me (you don't want me)

I'm at home here
In this blue dream
Since I found out
You don't want me
You don't want me
You don't want me
You don't want me

1 More Hit

It's do or die
And I'm burnin' up inside
I know that somethin' really isn't right
I shake, I sweat
I'm writhing in the bed
For just a puff, just a little spike

Pump it up into me
Please daddy, please daddy
Pump it up, pump it up
Into me

Could I have one more hit?
I promise I'll quit
This shit ain't good for me
I really need one more hit
And I'll be good
You really shouldn't go cold turkey
Cold turkey

The kiss, the bliss
There's nothing quite like this
To see your soul is shinin' like a pearl
To feel deep down
You matter to the world
And not just to a boy or to a girl

Pump it up into me
Please daddy, please daddy
Pump it up, pump it up
Into me

Could I have one more hit?
I promise I'll quit
This shit ain't good for me
I really need one more hit
And I'll be good
You really shouldn't go cold turkey
Cold turkey

A kick, a punch, a bell-ringer
A clip, a chop, a real zinger
You're the bee, give me the stinger

Could I have one more hit?
I promise I'll quit
This shit ain't good for me
I really need one more hit
And I'll be good
You really shouldn't go cold turkey
Cold turkey
Cold turkey

Sheila Can Do It

If Sheila can do it, I can do it
I don't see the problem with that
She is my other, a sister to a brother
And look at the thing that she's done
She looks like she's havin' fun
And I don't see the problem with that

She's shaving her legs and she's feelin' alright
She's puttin' on jeans of the type that are tight
She's gettin' herself ready to take on the night

If I feel my heart is getting watered down
If I feel my heart is getting watered down
If I feel my heart is getting watered down
Then I'll stop, and I'll turn, and I'll say

Man, if you'd seen this girl about two years ago
Seen her then and seen her now, I swear you'd never know
That who you was seein' was the same pistachio

If I feel my heart is getting watered down
If I feel my heart is getting watered down
If I feel my heart is getting watered down
Then I'll stop, and I'll turn, and I'll say

If Sheila can do it, I can do it
I don't see the problem with that
She is my other, a sister to a brother
And look at the thing that she's done
She looks like she's havin' fun
And I don't see the problem with that

If I feel my heart is getting watered down
If I feel my heart is getting watered down
If I feel my heart is getting watered down
Then I'll stop, and I'll turn, and I'll say

If Sheila can do it, I know that I can do it
I don't see the problem with that
She is my other, a sister to a brother
And look at the thing that she's done
She looks like she's havin' fun (she looks like she's havin' fun)
And I don't see the problem with that (and I don't see the problem with that)
She looks like she's havin' fun (she looks like she's havin' fun)
And I don't see the problem
I don't see the problem with that

(Bye, Sheila)

She Needs Me

In this big bad world there's things I'd do
When she needs help, I come through
Sometimes she hands me a jar of Jif
And I feel good when I open it

She needs me, she needs me
And that's why I need her
She needs me, she needs me
It's us against the world

I'm pretty good with the TV remote
When I record her favorite shows
I know how to listen when she's upset
And I keep her warm when she goes to bed

She needs me, she needs me
And that's why I need her
She needs me, she needs me
It's us against the world

She's mine, all mine
She's mine, all mine
She like it that way
Almost all of the time
She's mine, all mine
She's mine, all mine
Don't mess with my girl, no

She needs me, she needs me
And that's why I need her
She needs me, she needs me
It's us against the world

We all need a reason to live
So don't ever fall for the freedom bit
Free as a bird, I flew down that road
Take it from me, it's a horror show

She needs me, she needs me
And that's why I need her
She needs me, she needs me
It's us against the world

She needs me (she needs me)
She needs me (she needs me)
She needs me (she needs me)
Ooh
She needs me (she needs me)
She needs me (she needs me)
And that's why I need her (that's why I need her)
She needs me

Precious Metal Girl

I don't invest in stocks, I don't invest in bonds
Who needs real estate when I got you?
You're my platinum blonde with your spandex on
My pot of gold at the Rainbow Room

When the neon lights stop shining
I see you like a silver lining

You're my precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could've been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket with the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl

All the kings and queens when they explore the seas
They were searchin' for a gem like you
The battles lost and won with the L.A. Guns
For the Aqua Net in your hairdo

When the neon lights stop shining
I see you like a silver lining

You're my precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could've been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket with the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl

I don't need to mine
As long as you're mine
The sun sets on Sunset but you still shine
You still shine

'Cause you're my precious metal girl
My best friend in the world
Look like you could've been in Faster Pussycat
In your leather jacket with the patches on the back
You're my precious metal girl
