I guess I should go to sleep,
Too hard standing on my own two feet,
Been walking too long on a dead end street,
I guess I should go to sleep.
Well I guess I'll take off my shoes,
Head upstairs and then watch the news,
That's another way to lose these walking blues,
I guess I'll take off my shoes.
Well upstairs, upstaged and upstairs,
Keeping quiet is probably my best bet yet,
Cause I ain't managed to say the right thing yet,
Well I guess I should go back to bed.
I guess I should go to sleep,
Too hard standing on my own two feet,
Been running too long on an endless street,
I guess I should go to sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep,
If you kiss me
Don't run away
And say you are a hypnotist
That's just a hypocritical kiss
I have the mind to take a shot
It doesn't take the A-Team to
Do the job of one
If you kiss me
Don't run away
And say you are a hypnotist
That's just a hypocritical kiss
Run run fast as you can
Jimmy jam flim flam
Stick in the mud
Flap of the jaw
If you kiss me
Don't run away
And say you are a hypnotist
As round their dying father's bed
His sons attend, the peasant said:
"Children, deep hid from prying eyes,
A treasure in my vineyard lies;
When you have laid me in the grave,
Dig, search-and your reward you'll have."
"Father," cries one, "but where's the spot?"
He sighs! he sinks! he answers not.
The tedious burial service over,
Home go his sons, and straight explore
Each corner of the vineyard round,
Dig up, beat, break, and sift the ground;
Yet though to search so well inclined,
Nor gold, nor treasure could they find;
But when the autumn next drew near,
A double vintage crowned the year.
"Now," quoth the peasant's wisest son,
"Our father's legacy is known,
In yon rich purple grapes 'tis seen,
Which, but for digging, never had been.
Then let us all reflect with pleasure.
I am a poor wayfarin' stranger
Travellin' through this world alone
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm goin' home to see my mother
I'm goin' home no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home
I know dark clouds will hover o'er me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm goin' home to see my father
I'm goin' home no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the Sun
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
An' enter in that home with God
I'm goin' home to see my savior
I'm goin' home no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home

All praise to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of Kings,
Beneath thy own almighty wings.
A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
O may my soul on Thee repose,
And may sweet sleep my eyelids close:
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The I'll that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
There's a Friend for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A Friend who never changes
Whose love will never die;
Our earthly friends may fail us,
And change with changing years,
This Friend is always worthy
Of that dear name he bears.
There's a home for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy;
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare;
And everyone is happy,
She's got stickers on her locker
And the boy's number's there in magic marker
I'm hungry and the hunger will linger
I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers
Well every morning I deliver the news
Black hat white shoes and I'm red allover
She's got a big mailbox, that she puts up front
Garbage in garbage out, she's getting what she wants
Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
If I get busy then I couldn't care less what you do
But when I'm by myself I think of nothing else
Than if a boy just might be getting through and touching you
Spike heels make a hole in a lifeboat
Jump --- and I'm talking and laughing as we float
I hear a whistle, that's how I know she's home
Lipstick, eyelash, broke mirror, broken home
Force fed, force mixed 'till I drop dead
You can't defeat her, when you meet her you'll be what I said
And Lord knows there's a method to her madness
Bustin' those jokes as I float in a sea of sadness
She doesn't know but when she's gonna sit and drink up a few
I'm sure she's drinkin two, but wondering what for and who
And I'm solo rollin'. I'm one side off the boat.
Looking out, throwing up, a lifesaver down my throat
Was all the summer, and all the fall,
Just trying to find my little all in all
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man
But now you're gone, and now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain
But now she's gone, now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard
Gone get me a freight train, worked on your hard
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me oh say goodbye
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
The day is past, the sun is set,
And the white stars are in the sky;
While the long grass with dew is wet,
And through the air the bats now fly.
The lambs have now lain down to sleep,
The birds have long since sought their nests;
The air is still; and dark, and deep
On the hill side the old wood rests.
Yet of the dark I have no fear,
But feel as safe as when 'tis light;
For I know God is with me there,
And He will guard me through the night.
For God is by me when I pray,
And when I close mine eyes to sleep,
I know that He will with me stay,
And will all night watch by me keep.
For He who rules the stars and sea,
Who makes the grass and trees to grow.
Will look on a poor child like me,
When on my knees I to Him bow.
He holds all things in His right hand,
The rich, the poor, the great, the small;
When we sleep, or sit, or stand,
Walking home to you
Walking home to you
I'm talking
Through my wounds
That I'm bleeding
Out for you
Talking
Through my wounds
Walking home to you
I listen when I can
I listen when I can
To this picture of you
I carry in my hand
Lets me hear you say
You're never far away
And the dirt beneath
My heels in the road
Obeys command to me
And serves me as I go
And though it
Help to know
You're never far away
I can't help
Wondering how
You might feel
About me today
Ada let me know
Ada let me know
Will you want me back
Or is it better
If I go
Will you want me back
Ada let me know
That Carolina wind
That Carolina Wind
It blows in my eyes
And makes me realize
The trouble
That I'm in
That Carolina Wind
And the dirt beneath
My heels in the road
Obeys command to me
And serves me as I go
And though it
Help to know
You're never far away
I can't help
Wondering how
You might feel
About me today
You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream
You'll see me in a dream
Across a mountain stream
And you will hear me say
You're never far away
Never far away
First I saw the white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then I saw the wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the monkeys-mercy, how unpleasantly they-smelt!
Covetousness hath never end,
And where is no end, is no rest;
Where is no rest, peace doth wend;
Where is no peace, God is a guest;
For God Himself made His nest
Where peace made his bower,
And there He dwelleth, our Saviour.
Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant-
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone-
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)
Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee-
(I fear I'd better drop the song
I wore a shirt one day with a machine gun silhouette
sportin’ a rainbow clip.
I had this gun guy starin’ at me
wonderin’ where I got it
and he just about flipped over it.
I don’t know his name,
yeah, but just the same he buys a literal mountain of death.
And I lost five
or six bidding wars against him,
yeah, until I had no money left.
I said until I had no money left,
yeah, until I had no money left, oh!
I don’t want to get hurt or be too disappointed
if the feathers are broken and dead.
The birds look good in person
but not in the photos
and super vice versa I bet.
I’ve seen the auctioneer get pretty frustrated
if somethin’ good gets overbid.
When I went down there
I got pretty damned suspicious
but he seems like a pretty good kid.
Yeah, he seems like a pretty good
kid,
well, he seemed like a pretty good kid!
This joint’s been around for a while
and it feels like the same old crowd each time.
But there’s always that
chance
of a shill biddin’ trucker
tryin’ to help the old man make a dime.
This one gun guy comin’ straight out of Texas
doesn’t even mount one for himself.
He’s got a kingdom of gun shops,
he likes to he likes to decorate them.
with the trophies of somebody else
Yeah, with the trophies of somebody
else,
I want love to
roll me over slowly
stick a knife inside me,
and twist it all around.
I want love to
grab my fingers gently
slam them in a doorway
put my face into the ground
I want love to
murder my own mother
and take her off to somewhere
like hell or up above.
I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me anymore.
I want love to
walk right up and bite me
grab ahold of me and fight me
leave me dying on the ground.
And I want love to
split my mouth wide open and
cover up my ears,
and never let me hear a sound.
I want love to,
forget that you offended me
or how you have defended me,
when everybody tore me down.
Yeah I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.
Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
Brings a feeling outside of me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
That's when I get the shivers all over me
When you're moving right up close to me
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
I'm shakin' all over
Oh shivers in my knee bone
I've got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers down my backbone
Brings a feeling I'm inside of me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Shakin' all over
Shivers in my kneebone
I got the shakes in my thighbone
Shivers down my backbone
There's a feeling on the side of me
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Shakin' all over
Shivers in my knee bone
I get the shakes in the thighbone
Shivers down my backbone
That's when I get the shivers all over me
Well I get into the game,
But it's always the same,
I'm the man with the name,
Hip eponymous poor boy,
Poor boy.
Call me whatever you may,
I ain't stopping the train,
I gotta a feel for the fame,
Hip eponymous poor boy,
Poor boy
And I know that I can't defeat you,
Yeah but you don't worry now,
I ain't going to preach to you.
Well there you go,
But I'll be going right there with you.
Yeah wherever you'll be,
You'll be looking at me.
But don't get out of your chair,
Or put a bow in your hair,
You might be making a stare
So leave the care to the poor boy,
The poor boy.
And that's the name of the game,
You keep on staying the same,
Nobody to blame,
Nobody but the poor boy,
The poor boy.
Well okay, so you fell asleep today.
What's funny to me though,
Is that you did that yesterday.
You must think I'm mad,
Doing all the things that I don't need to do,
But while you're laughing at me,
I'll be laughing at you.
So I get into the game,
But always keep it the same,
And I'll be using your name
But they'll be yelling at me, poor boy,
Poor boy.
But I'll be happy for you,
Cause you got nothing to do
And I'll be singing the blues
Walking around singing poor boy,
Poor boy.
Sometimes, a cold shiver comes over me,
And it turns me on,
When the song takes over me.
Well alright, I can't fight if the odds are against me,
But I can't sit still,
Because I know that I will.
And you'll be watching me girl,
Taking over the world,
Let the stripes unfurl,
Getting rich singing poor boy,
Poor boy.
And I'll be coming to play,
I do it everyday
And the title will stay
Hip eponymous poor boy,
Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain
That I wanted so much to climb
And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain
That flows with the water of life
I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain
I cried, "O Lord what must I do?
I want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain
That flows so clear in my view"
Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain
Saying, "Child put your hand in mine"
I started climbing slowly, "Watch your steps at the edges
And take one step at a time"
I started climbing upward taking one step at a time
The higher I got the harder I climbed
I'm still climbing upward and my journey's almost ended
I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view
Oh the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free
i'm so free i could shout
it's like you wouldn't believe
the world travels backwards
when i'm in it
so much so, that i'm free every minute
we are so free
it is good to be free
you melt the quim and freeze the vrooze
i'd shake it up, but it fizzes too much
moby dick is a novel novel and i like skittles
did you eat that bone?
i'm a happy rabbit and your mother called
on the telephone
we are so free
it is good to be free
you melt the quim and freeze the vrooze
skit, skat, diddlely doo
rockin' on the night with a gee gee goo
you can't match the broom handle
so don't come to gimm
just rip, rip, rip aside of him
we are so free
it is good to be free
you melt the quim and freeze the vrooze
Christmas time will soon be over,
Christmas time will soon be over,
Christmas time will soon be over
Then we'll join the band.
Wake up gals, let's go to the river,
Wake up gals, let's go to the river,
Wake up gals, let's go to the river,
Then we'll join the band.
Get up gals, don't be bitter
Get up gals, don't be bitter
Get up gals, don't be bitter
Then we'll join the band.
Mess with me, I'll pull the trigger
Mess with me, I'll pull the trigger
Mess with me, I'll pull the trigger
It's a bust folks
I'm not eating egg yolks
The old lady just kicked it
Like an ice cream cone she licked it
Bust your chops like a gecko
Just enough to let go
You might wanna hold back
Forp
It's a bust folks
I'm not eating egg yolks
The old lady just kicked it
Like an ice cream cone she licked it
Four triangles make a square
These are geometrical shapes
Backpacks are advertised on this
Insight into the mind
It's a bust folks
I'm not eating egg yolks
The old lady just kicked it
Like an ice cream cone she licked it
Go back to school
Break neck pace
