[Chorus]
Ashley! Are you running around?
Are you crying out in bloody murder?
Ashley! Are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder

[Verse 1]
You used to dangle my heart with your puppet strings
You dangled your desires right in front of my face
You led me to the well but wouldn’t let me drink
Swallowing my pride and I never even got the taste

[Pre-Chorus]
But time comes around and I’m not so naive
I finally lost touch, 'cause you’re so out of reach
You say that you’re fine, but I know that you ain’t
You’re looking like hell, and you’re no fucking saint

[Chorus]
Ashley! Are you running around?
Are you crying out in bloody murder?
Ashley! Are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder
Ashley! Are you running around?
Are you crying out in bloody murder?
Ashley! Are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You are where you are, a wish on a shooting star
You are a filthy thought in my memory

[Verse 2]
I taste the cigarettes and liquor on your breath
We used to call it speed but now it’s crystal meth
Back when I loved you but you’re scaring me to death
This careless memory and now I could care less

[Pre-Chorus]
But time comes around and I’m not so naive
I finally lost touch, 'cause you’re so out of reach
You say that you’re fine, but I know that you ain’t
You’re looking like hell, and you’re no fucking saint

[Chorus]
Ashley! Are you running around?
Are you crying out in bloody murder?
Ashley! Are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder
Ashley! Are you running around?
Are you crying out in bloody murder?
Ashley! Are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder

[Outro]
Ashley! Ashley!
Ashley! Ashley!

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
