Recorded both video and audio by Adam Shatten. Of the song, I have no memory of either changes or lyrics. But I kinda glad Adam found it.

lyrics

Won’t Come Out

Music and Lyrics, by Rick Berlin 1996

He still lives at home,
in the same old room, and the same old pictures
Same old stinky bed that he had as a kid

Fights with his Mom and Dad,
Day and Night, same old fight,
They don’t know what to do with him

And he shaved his head,
And he pierced his tongue,
He don’t have a job
Doesn’t really want one

Chorus

Oh Ooo Davey,
Come out from under your rock
got some old friend playin’ stickball
up the block
he probably loves you a lot,
probably loves you a lot,
probably talkin’ about you

And he screens his calls
And he’s scared to talk
And builds lots of walls
Great Walls of China

And he drinks alone
And vodka straight
Shot after shot
Watches shitty T.V.

Keeps his bedroom blocked
Got a thing about Pornography
He likes kiddie-porn
Turns him on
Sheets get sticky
He feels guilty

Chorus

He writes sad poems
Black pictures in a book
Then he rips them up
Poor kid is so f*cked up

You get lost in his eyes
And you can’t get out
What’s that all about?
It’s just your own self-doubt

Chorus

He still lives at home
And he won’t move out
He still lives at home
And he won’t move out
