2000 Light Years Away - Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia 11/14/97

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'

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!

I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter, we laugh together

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!
Woah!

So anyways, I was backstage
Oh my god, and there was this guy back there
Who's got this Green Day tattoo
And he told me the story
He got this tattoo because his girlfriend, well it's his fiancé
She hated Green Day but he could not stop listening to Green Day
And so, so she couldn't handle it
And they split up
And so now, he's married to me
This song's dedicated to him

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'

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!
Woah!

This is fuckin' metal, baby
Heavy fuckin' metal, baby
Want some fuckin' metal?
Metal? You want some fuckin' Ozzy, baby?
Some Metallica, baby?
You like that Metallica shit, baby?
The fuck am I even talking about?

I feel good, I feel real good
Alright, we're gonna play a game out there
Playing a fucking game, man
This ain't a game!
Oh anyway, every time I hit a chord
Everybody's gotta do this, yeah?
Uh! Alright?
So I'm gonna count to three and everyone's gonna do that, Ok?
One, two, three!
Alright, what was that?
We need more "Uh!" Much more
Alright, one more time on the count of three!
One, two, three, Uh!
Woah, shit!
You guys are more fuckin' metal than I fuckin' thought!
