Enuff Z'Nuff: Paraphernalia Lyrics

Freak (Vie, Z'Nuff)

All alone, with nowhere to call home.
There's nothing waiting anywhere for me.
My life's a waste, denied a pretty face,
And no one's lookin' deep enough to see.
Everything is beautiful and shines in it's own ways.
The prettier the uglier they'll be.
And a likely substitute for love is always empathy.
You'll see...

The freak. I'm the freak.
Yeah, noboby wants to know me,
I'm the freak.

Cry away another dreadful day,
So I can go to sleep and find my dream.
'Cause life awake is all a big heartache,
The nature of the world is so obscene.
I don't believe in feelings that I've hurt but never had.
I don't believe in heaven here in hell.
And I could leave this world today, it might be just as well.
Oh well...I'm a freak.

All I know is hate from head to toe,
So what the hell am I supposed to be?
So I'll find a place where I can hide my face,
And never let them close enough to see.
I don't believe in adjuration, I just believe in bad.
It's the only thing that's running through my head.
'Cause now I'm cursing my creation, I think I'm going mad.
So sad...

Top Of The Hill (Vie, Z'Nuff)

I'm hot as rock, and on a roll.
No need to fight, I've got my little hole.
I love the light, it heals my soul.
I love my life, my heart as good as gold.
I'm from the streets, but I'm for real.
I never learned to covet 'cause I feel...

Everything's okay (lonely world).
Have a happy day (lonely world).
Help is on the way (yeah).
Take me to the top,
Take me to the top...of the hill.

I've got a girl, I bring her flowers.
I go to work, believe in higher powers.
I'm such a sleaze, I'll treat you dirty.
I'll play you like I play the hurdy-gurdy.

Repeat Chorus.

I'm on a trip, I love the B-side.
I'm flying high and hanging by the seaside.
I'm on the key, behind the wheel.
No need to beg or borrow 'cause I steal.

Ain't It Funny (Vie, Z'Nuff)

He couldn't go on. Every dream inside his wish is so golden.
It didn't take long for the demons in his mind to unfold him.
With everything wrong, kinda feelin' like somebody had sold him.
The finger points on, 'cause it rolled the way that everyone told him.

Ain't it funny how you feel like dying?(3X)
Ain't it funny how you feel like chokin'?

She's holdin' her head. Feeling stupid, feeling old and so ugly.
So sweet in her bed. See her huddlin' her covers so snuggly.
No lovers today. In fact there wasn't yesterday or tomorrow.
She never been laid. Showing all her bitterness and her sorrow.

Ain't it funny how you feel like dying? (3X)
Ain't it funny how you feel like exploding?...

I shouldn't go on. Everyday's another reason for dying.
I've sat here so long. Cannot even find a reason for trying.
I'm feeling so alone. Noticed lately I ain't even been lying.
I ain't got no gun. I just walk around the living room crying.

Repeat Chorus #1 Twice.

Ain't it funny how you feel like unloading?

Believe In Love (Vie, Z'Nuff)

I love Sunday mornings, all wrapped up in Spring-time.
Hangin' from a thread, barrel to your head.
You can make it alright, if you can make it in bed.

But you've got to believe in love,
So your heart can melt away.
And I know you'll have it all someday.
You've got to believe in love.

I've got something for ya', drink it down like water.
If you hate it from the start, let it savor in your heart.
You can take a little home, you can take it apart.

Repeat Chorus.

You've got to believe in love.
When you've got to rise above.
You've got to believe in love...

I love pretty colors, chase 'em 'round like rainbows.
If you need someone to hold, your mother should have told ya'.
There ain't nothing wrong with taking back what they've stole.

But you've got to believe in love,
Or your heart will melt away.
And I know you'll have it all someday.
You've got to believe in love.

Repeat Chorus #2.

Oh, in love.
You've got to believe in love.
Believe in love...
You've got it all if you believe in love. (7X)
You've gotta gotta gotta believe in love.
I love pretty colors.

Habit (Vie, Z'Nuff)

I'm watching the hour glass, waiting for time to pass inside.
The grains fall slow.
I'm waiting for yesterday, I wish it would go away
Today won't stay or go.

Getting older, getting colder.
Habit so hard to break.
So redeeming, when I'm dreaming.
Habit so hard to break.

Where is my yesterface? It's lost in the yesterplace.
My smile, and my ways don't show.
But now it's a part of me, it's deep in the heart of me,
And I just can't let go.

Repeat Chorus.

I'm waiting for yesterday, I wish it would go away.
Today won't stay or go.

Baby You're The Greatest (Vie, Z'Nuff)

I know it's Monday, after the weekend,
But could you still come out to play?
It happened one day, we got to be friends,
And I was gladly blown away.
Oh, lately I've been holding out for something really cool,
And then I get the nerve to finally say hello and I play the fool.
But baby...could you warm me...so I could...melt away?

Baby all I really wanna hear you say is "I love you."
Lately I just wanna cuddle in your arms and not be blue.
Baby all I really wanna hear you say is "I love you."
Baby you're the greatest and I'll never let you go.

I knew that somewhere over the rainbow,
There would be something left for me.
I'm really out there, but not insane, no,
Exactly where I love to be.
Have you ever had a secret that you couldn't keep?
My mind is in a whirl, my heart is in a flutter, can't get to sleep.
Oh baby...could you hold me...and tell me...I'm the one?

Repeat Chorus.

I feel so Monday after the weekend.
No sense pretending I'm okay.
I knew that one day, I'd find the deep end,
And I would jump right in and play.
Oh, lately I've been checkin' around for something really cool,
And then I get the nerve to finally say hello and I play the fool.
But baby...if you warm me...then I could...melt away.

Repeat Chorus Twice.

I said I don't care, and I don't know.
'Cause what you did to make me love you so.
Baby you're the greatest and I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go, yeah.
You're the greatest, and I love 'ya.

Someday (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Someday, when you've eased your troubled mind,
Are you gonna find what you believe in and stop wasting your time?
Someday your world will be your own.
Yeah.
Someday, when you make another start,
You gotta let a lot of things go that keep breaking your heart.
Someday your world will be your own.
Yeah.

You really don't even know how fine you are.
The mirror might only show you've gone too far.
Well you know there's a slice of heaven out there for you,
And everyone would like to see you happy too.

Someday, when you come out of your daze,
Are you gonna be a total loser or start changing your ways?
Someday your world will be your own.

It's time to stop gettin' old and start gettin' real.
You really don't need to hold the spinning wheel.
You thought you might put a bullet right through your head.
If that's your heart, then you're already dead.
You're dead. You're dead.

Someday, you'll find beauty in the world.
You've got to put the good days together,
'Til you're over the girl.
Someday your world will be your own.
Someday your world will be your own.

It's gonna be your own.
Somehow, someday... (9X)

Unemotional (Vie, Z'Nuff)

You looked so dumb I had to laugh.
You stand there yelling at a photograph.
It reminds you and it brings you down again,
And now it seems that you've become a psychopath.

He's so hot and she's so unemotional.
It's a battle 'till the end that could never end as friends.
He's so hot and she's so unemotional.
There was nothing he could do, all the feelings that were through.

Say goodbye to yesterday,
And all those nasty things you used to say.
Try to find your smiling face again,
So hard to make the feelings for her go away.

Repeat Chorus.

The girl will always hurt you in the end,
And now it seems that it's hurting you again!

Invisible (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Where will I go when I die?
Will I go under or will I fly?
What is waiting behind the door?
Is there just darkness or so much more?
These are questions I ask myself,
And then I put them upon the shelf.
And I figure maybe one day, I'll pull the trigger,
And blow away.

While I'm loving you I'm hating me,
And that's a bloody cold reality.
I am someone no one else can see.
I'm invisible.

Well alright.
No solutions and no big breaks.
It's just confusion and heartaches.
But it don't matter a bit to me.
'Cause I ain't feeling what I can't see.

Repeat Chorus.

What do you say?

Where will I go when I die?
Will I go under or will I fly?
And what is waiting behind the door?
Will there be darkness or so much more?

All Alone (Vie, Z'Nuff)

They said if the cigarettes didn't get you alcohol would first.
A little white and a little brown mixed together got you all sunburst.
Well everybody's got troubles just how bad were yours?

I know in a sad world, it's a long way home.
I know in a bad world, that it's a long way home.
I know in a mad world, it's a long way home.
But you left me carrying on,
All alone. All alone.

Well I thought as sure as hell, it'd be me, my dear, instead of you.
But that only goes to show the amazing things that we can do.
We're all the people you love and we all still love you.

Repeat Chorus.

But maybe if I hung out for just a week or two...

Everything Works If You Let It (Rick Neilson)

Everything works if you let it. Everything works if you let it.
Everything works if you let it. If you let it in your heart.
Everything works if you let it. If you let it in your heart.

She is the girl of his dreams, he wants her.
He thinks forget it.
He's got a flame in his heart and he feels like cryin',
So much in love he feels like dying.
Don't stop the dream, he can fix it, I know he can.
He is the world's world's greatest at the work that he does,
When he moves on down the line.

Everything works if you let it. (3X)
Let it in your heart.

She is the girl of his dreams, he wants her.
He thinks forget it.
He'd love to look inside her heart and see if she agrees.
Don't stop the dream, he could fix it, I know he can.
He is the world's world's greatest at the work that he does,
And there's magic in the air.

Repeat Chorus.

Good times, bad times, don't know what to do.
Half the time, or all the time, I don't know if it's true.
Someday, some way, he'll know if it's true,
To look inside your heart and then decide it's really you.

Everything'll work out if you let it. (3X)
Let it in your heart...

Everything works if you let it. If you let it in your heart.
Everything'll work out if you let it. If you let it in your heart.
Everything works if you let it. If you let it in your heart.
Everything'll work out if you let it. If you let it in your heart.

Save Me (Vie, Z'Nuff)
Help!
Time don't give us time, now,
And love don't give us love, now.
Our peace has fallen to pieces,
And nothing can release us.
I feel I want my mother,
But I've just got my brother.
But he's no brother of mine,
He's stealing all my sunshine.

Save,
I've got to save my life.
I've got to save,
Save my life.

My movie's got a soundtrack,
But only in my phone jack.
And no one's gonna see it,
It's just my luck I'd be in it.
I'm looking in the mirror,
And things are looking clearer.
I'm throwing it away now.
I'm blowing every day now.

Repeat Chorus.

I'm feeling empty-hearted.
I miss my dear departed,
And hope don't bring me hope, now,
But the dope still brings me dope.

No Place To Go (Vie, Z'Nuff)

I always spend my money, sum of money never grows.
I keep a rolled-up twenty for God of Heaven though.
I haven't been with my honey for nearly two months in a row.
See the day, nice and sunny and I've got no place to go.

I was the prize-less fighter, so I stayed out of the ring.
Ya got a cigarette lighter for every time you hear me sing.
I couldn't tense up tighter, but I can't let nothing show.
I'm a horse-less rider and I've got no place to go.

In only fifteen minutes I can wreck my freaking life.
I've got no choice in something so I try to love the strife.
Seems that nothing excites me so I've got nothing to show,
And then no one invites me and I've got no place to go.

I've got no place to go. (4X)

Loser Of The World (Donnie Vie)

Well look at me out on my own again.
But I should be on my way home again.
No mystery that I'm alone again.
The loser of the world.

The one I love is never true to me.
I'm not above what she could do to me.
I'm so tired, their tryin' to get through to me.
The loser of the world.

Hey! Won't you stay?
I've been so long in the dark,
The nights become my day.

You look at me, let it enlighten you.
But what you see will maybe frighten you.
You just might be a little bit like me too.
The loser of the world.
The loser of the world.
The loser of the world.
