Com o nome de um licor, o grupo foi formado em 1992, depois que o baixista Craig Montoya e o baterista Scott Cuthbert responderem a um anúncio colocado por Art Alexakis nos classificados do jornal de música “The Rocket”, de Seattle. O primeiro álbum, “World of Noise” conseguiu chamar a atenção do público local e de grandes selos. Em 1994 a banda assina com uma gravadora maior, a Capitol Records e Greg Eklund substitui Cuthbert, que sofria com a dependência química.

(repeat.. the x's represent muting the strings and stumming)
Same basic strumming technique throughout the rest of the song.
[Verse I]
G5G5/EG5 I am still living with your ghost G5/EG5G5/EG5 Lonely and dreaming of the west coast G5/ED5E5C5 I don't want to be your downtime C5D5G5 I don't want to be your stupid game
[Verse II]
G5G5/EG5 With my big black boots and an old suitcase G5/EG5G5/EG5 I do believe I'll find myself a new place G5/ED5E5C5 I don't want to be the bad guy C5D5G5 I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees Go and try to shake away this disease
[Chorus] C5 We can live beside the ocean C5D5G5 Leave the fire behind G5E5D5 Swim out past the breakers D5C5G5 Watch the world die
[Verse III]
G5G5/EG5 I am still dreaming of your face G5/EG5G5/EG5 Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away G5/ED5E5C5 I don't want to be your good time C5D5G5 I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
[Verse IV]
G5G5/EG5 I'll walk right out into a brand new day G5/EG5G5/EG5 Insane and rising in my own weird way G5/ED5E5C5 I don't want to be the bad guy C5D5G5 I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine I just want to find some place to be alone
[Chorus] C5 We can live beside the ocean C5D5G5 Leave the fire behind G5E5D5 Swim out past the breakers D5C5G5 Watch the world die
