Pinkerton is the second studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996, by DGC Records. After abandoning plans for a rock opera entitled Songs from the Black Hole, Weezer recorded the album between the songwriter Rivers Cuomo's terms at Harvard University, where he wrote most of the songs. To better capture their live sound, Weezer self-produced Pinkerton, creating a darker, more abrasive album than their self-titled 1994 debut.

I knew I was digging myself a hole
Deeper and deeper
I enjoyed holding you
But didn't think of you
The way you wanted me to

Couldn't push you aside
When you went in for the kill
And I found myself reciprocating out of guilt and fear
Miss the train that's begging me to board
Already so so late
Not even the one I was waiting for
It's so slow
Won't it come already, this train
Of warmth
Already so slow

Uncertainty and desperation
Knowing lightning might not strike again
This bolt is wonderful
Can it be the one that lays me down?
I'm tied up to a motor bike
Missing a wheel
Rushing into a connection
I so wish to complete

Can you love me more than me?
Can you love me more than me?
Can you love me more than me?
Can you love me more than me?
Can you love me more than me?
Can you love me more than me?
I don't know

A chorus needs to be universal and generic
Let Tom Waits sing his heart out (Okay)
He knows what he's saying (Yup)
You know what he's saying (Uh-huh)
Isn't it amazing? (Yeah!)

So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go
So let go

So let go
Let go
Let go

So let go
