[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
The rise and fall of my sloppy love
The smatterings, and splatterings
They'll get you
I'm not the one you were thinking of
Maybe you thought I'd call
Instead of crashing down your hall

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Hold me down, I wanna find out
You know you will never get what you need

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Blue Diamonds, strike 'em anywhere
First we caffeinate then incinerate
We'll get you
And sparks will fly in the summer air
Did you pull out of your stall
Maybe I'll see you after all

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Hold me down, I want to find out
We say no 'cause I live my life like a burning man
Like a burning man, a burning man
Like a burning man
And I won't get enough until my legs are broken

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
The lies they fall and shine in an void
Life is not to fear, life is to enjoy
He'll get you
Oh, Mr. Death catches all someday
Baby I thought you'd call
Or leave a light on in the hall

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Hold me down but I'll find out
We say no, 'cause I live my life like a burning man
Like a burning man, a burning man
Like a burning man
Hold me down, I wanna find out
We say no 'cause I live my life like a burning man
Like a burning man, a burning man
Like a burning man
And I won't get enough, until my legs are broken

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
