Green Day
2000 Light Years Away (Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia 11/14/97)
[Verse 1]
I sit alone in my bedroom
Starin' at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speedin', my love is yearnin'

[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, so
Never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
Years away

[Verse 2]
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Look out as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter, we laugh together

[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, so
Never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
Years away
[Interlude]
So anyways, I was backstage
Oh my god, there was this guy back there
Who's got this Green Day tattoo
And he told me the story
He got the tattoo because his girlfriend, well, it's his fiancé
She hated Green Day but he could not stop listening to Green Day
And so, she, she, she couldn't handle it
So they split up
So, now he's married to me
This song's dedicated to him

[Verse 3]
I sit alone in my bedroom
Starin' at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speedin', my love is yearnin'

[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, oh
Never let go
'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
Years away
[Outro]
This is fuckin' metal, baby
Heavy fuckin' metal, baby
You want some fuckin' metal?
Metal? You want some fuckin' Ozzy, baby?
Some Metallica, baby?
You like that Metallica shit, baby?
The fuck am I talking about?
That felt good, that felt real good
Alright, we're gonna play, we're gonna play a game, goddamnit
Playing a fucking game
This ain't a game, man
So every time, every time I hit a chord, everybody's gonna do this, uh
Alright?
So I'll do it, I'll count to three and everybody do that, ready?
One, two, three (Uh)
Come on, more "uh"
Alright, what was that?
We need more "uh", come on
Alright, one more time, on the count of three, everybody, ready?
One, two, three (Uh)
Woah, shit
You guys are fuckin' more metal than I fuckin' thought
