Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
I could fall in love
I could pick a flower
I'd give it a face
But it would never replace
Who you are
I could sing forever
Get drunk on guitar
Feel the drum and bass
But it would never replace
Who you are
I could set this cold blue world
ablaze
But the sun would still rise
And I would never replace
Who you are
I'd take a train to nowhere
A rocket to mars
Get lost in space
But I could never replace
Who you are
I could set this cold blue world
ablaze
But the sun would still rise
And I would never replace
I know that when you touched down
You had to hit the ground running
Your friends weren't around they were done in
By the girl who speaks ouzo babble well
I guess the word just got around
The new wave bitch from hell ain't got no lover
She's come back to the island for another
Spilling drachma in her vodka all night long
I heard you really got sick, sick in Santorini
You found a Greek who liked martinis
You used the olives for bikinis
You never like to take it slow
Forever fire you were roaring
Like Niagara Falls you were pouring
No act of God could slow your party down
But every story got and ending
You kissed every boy saint and sinner
Your Grecian holiday was a winner
'Til they had to scrape your head up off the ground
I heard you really got sick, sick in Santorini
The sun was down and you were frying
The boys weren't around and you were dying
There's a picture on my wall
A crack in the ceiling
Cigarette burns in my hall
I get the feeling
That you surround me
That you surround me
If I died a thousand times
My soul washed beside me
I will never be alone
You're always inside me
And you surround me
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
I won't touch her violet hair
That fell like rain and filled the air
With roses
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
She won't look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the only one
Who knows her
Mary won't be changing me no more
She won't reach into my mind
And fill those gutters with red wine
And reason
Mary won't be changing me no more
I guess that I knew all along
That she'd be leaving with the song
Of season
Sunshine rain
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
She won't reach into my mind
And fill those gutters with red wine
And reason
Mary won't be comin' 'round no more
She won't look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the only one
Who knows her
Sunshine rain
Sunshine rain
Sunshine rain
The night before the moon died
you realized
the flowers that you picked
and kept locked away
Were never to be seen
by naked lovers' eyes
The night before the moon died
you realized
you had a chance to make it right
but you never did
Take your car right out of gear
send it over the sea
Touch your fingers to the water
Put your hands to your face
The night before the moon died
you realized
You had your chance
to make it right
You had your chance
to change your mind
You had your chance
to save your life
Tried to make you happen
Tried to make you real
Tried to make your face
From a broken Ferris wheel
Listen to me Dori
Listen and you'll hear
A wind that carries lonely
And a wind that carries fear
Dorina
Dorina
The bartender must be crazy
He's such an irritating host
Every night the same dumb
question
Where's your pretty little ghost
Can't a man imagine
Can't a man be free
Can't a man just have one little
drink
Dorina
Dorina
Painted old lady
Collecting splinters on the bench
She's waiting to go to heaven
One-eyed old man
With his party hat on
Swears there is no hell
I know a girl who believes
A girl who believes
She used to be a dog
Elevator rising
I wonder what's on the top floor
The numbers are on the wall
The sun also rises
And the shadow soon fall
I keep looking to the sky
I know a girl who believes
A girl who believes
She used to be a dog
It don't matter what I say
'Cause no one is right
and no one is wrong
I guess that we'll find some day
That no one was right
and no one was wrong
I know a girl who believes
A girl who believes
If you've got a picture of your face
Could you leave it on your way out the door
I don't care if it's color or black or white
I just need something to remember you by
Oh, before my life went dim
Oh, before my life went dim
No one told me the trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
I painted half my face green
Don't you know I painted half my face blue
In hopes of showing you
Both sides of me, both sides of me
I guess it came down to
Don't you love me, don't you love me
Oh, before my life went dim
Before my life went dim
No one told me the trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
Can't this car go any faster
Can't this car go any faster
Can't this car go any faster
Faster, faster
Can't this car go cause I can still see where I am
Oh, before my life went dim
Oh, before my life
Before my life went dim
You should have told me
The trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
I just ran away from home
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
I just crashed my car again
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
I just robbed a grocery store
I'm going to dizz knee land
I just flipped off President George
I'm going to dizz knee land
I just tossed a fifth of gin
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
I just got cuffed again
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
Shot my gun into the night
I'm going to dizz knee land
I just saw a good man die
I'm going to dizz knee land
Kicked my ass out of school
Rolled me out into the street
Hitched a ride on a monkey's back
Headed west into the black
Mary won't be comin' 'round
no more
I won't touch her violet hair
That fell like rain and filled the air
With roses
Mary won't be comin' 'round
no more
She won't look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the only one
Who knows her
Mary won't be changing me
no more
She won't reach into my mind
And fill those gutters with red wine
And reason
Mary won't be changing me
no more
I guess that I knew all along
That she'd be leaving with the song
Of season
Sunshine rain
Mary won't be comin' 'round
no more
She won't reach into my mind
And fill those gutters with red wine
And reason
Mary won't be comin' 'round

She won't look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the only one
Who knows her

I got yer letter it had turned to sand, lighting strikes the postman in
his hand, I hope that you remember the things you had to say, it's just
a supernatural delay... I got yer package it was all a mess, lightning strikes
the postman in his chest, I hope that you remember the things you
had to
say, it's just a supernatural delay...
I sent you a postcard and I hope yer fine
But lightning strike the postman all the time
I couldn't really think of anything to say
It's just a supernatural delay,
And it's hard to read the writing through the flames...
She was sixteen going on fifty
I'm not quite sure exactly
what that means
But her speakers screamed Sinatra
and the Zombies
Her hair hung red around her
ripped blue jeans
She said she was Jim Morrison
incarnate
A psychic on La Brea told her so
She asked me if I ever read Lolita
She took my hand and lead me to
her door
And she said ...
Let's go to my room
I'll show my posters
Let's go to my room
I'll show you I'm a lover
She locked the door behind me
She lit a candle
Then blew it out said the moon
would do just fine
The lizard king and T. Rex for wall
paper
Above her bed hung a
No-Parking sign
She asked me if I liked her
decorator
As she stripped behind a wall of
raining beads
I woke up with her pillow and her
diary
She took her bath as I began to
read
And she said ...
Let's go to my room
I'll show you my posters
Let's go to my room
Gogo has it easier
Than any other girl in the world
The way she cuts her hair is cool
Everybody knows Gogo rules
And every morning Gogo wakes
Gogo spins, she don't hesitate
And just like the wind, she reads between the lines
And like the sun, she knows how to have a good time
Gogo has it easier
Than any other girl in the world
She loves to dance to Sonic Youth
Her charm bracelet hangs Chet Baker's tooth
And every morning Gogo wakes
Gogo spins, she don't hesitate
And just like the wind, she reads between the lines
And like the sun, she knows how to have a good time
oh yeah
(solo)
Gogo (Gogo)
Gogo has it easier
Than any other girl in the world
She never thought too much of school
Everybody knows Gogo rules
Gogo rules
Gogo rules
Gogo rules
Two parents in the heat of battle
One child's ear pressed to the door
And mom, she cries like a wounded dove
Shot down, by a man who could not love
She said that one day
I'd understand
What did you mean when you said that?
I'd like to know
What did you mean when you said that?
Guess some things are better left alone
Two lovers staring at the dead walls
One bed we thought we'd never have to make
And as she packed to say goodbye
I just had to ask her why
She said that one day
I'll understand
What did you mean when you said that?
I'd like to know
What did you mean when you said that?
Guess some things are better left, better left
La, da, da (Alone)
La, da, da
La, da, da
La, da, da
(solo)
What did you mean when you said that?
I'd like to know
What did you mean when you said that?
I guess some things are better left, better left
(La, la la la)
I'd like to know
I'd like to know
I'd like to know, know
Know, know, to know
Like to know
Like to know
Like to know
Ho, oh
Clock radio, 9 to 5
Out of my mind
Supernova, supercharged
Left 'em behind
Plastic cheese-wiz, fuzzy dice
Four on the floor
Utah's finest, steal your face
Hole in the door
Salt and lime
Space and time
Long white line
Yellow sign
Law passed by
As we glide
Safe inside
Tami's ride
Psychedelic, chicken wing
Ashes and beer
Bugs splatter, window crack
Tryin' to steer
Funky driver, get me to
Graceland on time
Fill her up now, I know we can
Make it tonight
Salt and lime
Space and time
Long white line
Yellow sign
Law passed by
As we glide
Safe inside
Tami's ride
(solo)
Ride, ride, Tami, ride
Drive, drive, baby, drive
wooh
Sticky finger, lucky strike
Fly through the air
I'm holy water, step inside
Trucker beware
Salt and lime
Space and time
Long white line
Yellow sign
Law passed by
As we glide
Safe inside
Tami's ride
Tami's ride, Tami's ride
Tami's ride, Tami's ride
Met her a million years ago
Maybe it was yesterday
She was the queen of teen and sweet doomsday
With the flower face
There's nothing easier than her smile
There's nothing harder to forget
But when they put you on the witch trial
Girl, you lost your head
(You lost your head)
How can I bring you back?
Please tell me what to do
My sweet dark angel
When did your world turn black?
You smeared your powder blue
My sweet dark angel
My sweet dark angel
Sometimes and now she lets me know
Baby's slippin' away, yeah, yeah
Left school to lose herself in the shadows
Of her broken days
There's nothing easier than her smile
There's nothing harder to forget
But when they put you on the witch trial
Girl, you lost your head
(You lost your head)
How can I bring you back
When I don't have a clue?
My sweet dark angel
When did your world turn black?
You smeared your powder blue
My sweet dark angel
My sweet dark angel
There's nothing easier than her smile
There's nothing harder to forget
And like the last star in the morning
I'm losing you, my friend
(Losing you, my friend)
Losing you, my friend
How can I bring you back?
Please tell me what to do
My sweet dark angel
When did your world turn black?
You smeared your powder blue
My sweet dark angel
My sweet dark angel
How can I bring you back?
How can I bring you back?
How can I bring you back?

Nothing's gonna break you, Sugarbones
No one knows how
No one's gonna take you down
That's what you always said to me
At first nothing's worse now
Hangin' by a thread, or was that yesterday?
Swear you didn't know
Swear you didn't know you'd change
You'd change
Bom bom, bom bom, bom bom
Bom bom, bom bom, bom bom
Bricks that fall on me don't really hurt
Sometimes it works out
I think it even feels better
I'm a stranger in this town now
Never noticed all they've torn down
Swear you didn't know
Swear you didn't know you'd change
You'd change
Bom bom, bom bom, bom bom
Bom bom, bom bom, bom bom
Nothing's gonna break you, Sugarbones

Spent my day at the jumping school for chickens
I think I learned a lot today
Tonight I've got a date with my best girl
She's the greatest girl in the world
She's so the one for me, it's all good
On everything, everything we agree
Every little thing
She loves the bands that sing all the hate songs
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves the bands that bring on the pain songs
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
So much "kewler"
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo
I'll buy the cigarettes she likes to drag
They won't run, she won't have to bum
The wrong kind again from me this time
I can't wait to be again with her
She's so "kewl", she's a cat, she purrs
She knows all the words to the songs we sing
I love to hear her sing
Love to hear her sing
She loves the bands that sing all the hate songs
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves the bands that bring on the pain songs
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
So much "kewler"
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo
I'll buy the ring for her someday
She'll leave it in her eyebrow to stay
The way she is to me tonight
So much to see in life through her
So glad she understands my words
As we float like birds through our concert high
Through our concert high
Through the concert high
She loves the bands that sing all the hate songs
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves the bands that bring on the pain songs
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
So much "kewler" than the stupid bands
That sing their stupid songs about love
Things could take a while
'Cause I just turned to smoke
So I can float through
Float through the cracks
And never come back
Uh, huh, huh, yeah
When I'm touched by the wind
I love to spin through the sky
I never lived
I'll never die
I'll never come back
Uh, huh, huh, yeah
Never come back
Uh, huh, huh, yeah
I will never come this way again
I will never come this way again, no
I circled 'round your sun
??? got burned by your fire
It turned me into smoke
Let me fly away
I'll never come back
Uh, huh, huh
Never come back
Uh, huh, huh, yeah
I will never come this way again, uh, huh
Long lean piece of ice
Thin and hard think what it will do
I will slice and I will pour it to you
Drip, drip, drip
Reflective properties, I see you
Then my mind stops and stutters, my mind stops
Please can I kiss your kneecaps?
The sun burns itself out (over and over)
The sun burns itself
I look around and notice the dogs
The dogs in line to howl so loud, so long
For just one night
What the hell was your name?
I'm numb, dumbed down
On a leash that chokes so hard
My life fades to blue
The sun burns itself out (over and over)
The sun burns itself out (over and over and)
(S.F. harp solo)
(solo)
And the hand that holds my leash
Is so strong that it's useless to struggle
Useless to catch the one breath that starts me down
To freedom
Unknown, to the bone
Without taste, past disgrace
White pasty face
Please don't notice me my goddess
The sun burns itself out (over and over)
The sun burns itself out (over and over and)
I'm a shadow crawling into the black
I'm a bug, sticky feet
I leave a trail
I am nothing, for no one, I'm useless
The sun burns itself out (over and over)
The sun burns itself out (over and over)
The sun burns itself out (over and over)
I will pretend I feel your breath
In the air floating
Dragonflies and I hail to you
I will pretend I feel your touch
When the rain falls I squeeze tightly
And when it's gone I'm soaked by you, you
And I feel I could rise
And I feel I could rise
And I feel I could rise to you
To you
I will remain one single fire
When the lights go I will flicker
Burn in the dark left by you, you
I will command your company
Temper my mind, fix my vision
I'll never lose the sight of you, you
And I feel I could rise
And I feel I could rise
And I feel I could rise to you
To you
Rise to you, rise to you
Don't want a sign, don't want religion
Reach through the sky, feel you there
Don't want my mind to make decisions
Reach through the sky, feel you there
And I feel I could rise
And I feel I could rise to you
To you
I'm gonna need somebody
Someone to nail my soul to my shoes
I'm gonna need somebody real soon
Real soon
I'm gonna meet somebody
It's just that right now my hair is a mess
I'm gonna clean my head up real soon
Real soon
I'm gonna need somebody
Someone to pull my thumbs from these screws
I'm gonna need somebody real soon
Real soon
Turn out the light
I'm sick of it all
I'm burned out tonight
I'll tune in tomorrow
I'm gonna free somebody
Together we could escape from this room
I'm gonna free somebody real soon
Real soon
I'm gonna need somebody
Someone to nail their soul to my tomb (oh yeah)
I'm gonna need somebody real soon
Real soon, real soon
Turn out the light
I'm sick of it all
I'm burned out tonight
I'll tune in tomorrow
Real soon, oh yeah (Turn out the light)
Real soon, I need it (I'm sick of it all)
Real soon, oh yeah (I'm burned out tonight)
Real soon, oh yeah (I'll tune in tomorrow)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ho-woh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ho-woh
Real soon
Real soon

Real soon
Real soon
Real soon

When I'm broke, put me down
Let the dust collect on me
When I'm sad, put me down
Like an anchor fallin' through the sea
I don't mind, put me down
Turn the screw, spin me 'round
When you're done, put me down
Down
Down
If I crack, put me down
Let my skin peel away
If I fade, put me down
Certain damage, too much to say
I don't mind, put me down
Turn me up, I won't make a sound
When you're done, put me down
Down
Down
Down
But I'm no good
To you no more
Just say the word
I'll disappear
(solo)
I don't mind, put me down
Turn the screw, spin me 'round
Get the gun and shoot the hound
When you're done, put me down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
I threw your ring into the sea
Splashes reaching to heaven
To tell you the truth I won't miss it much
I threw my soul into the sea
Pretty girls make graves
Pretty girls make graves
I started to dream in the 3-D
Derail, discard, and drowning
Woke up to feel my stupid heart beat
I tore it out, it's just a piece of meat
Pretty girls make graves
Pretty girls make graves
If my feet could just get back on
The ground where they belong
I could walk back into my life
But I'm drifting through the darkness
Of a burnout every night
I just need to find someone
Who won't cost me my life
(solo)
Atom bomb bikini
Soldiers marching through the waves
Towards another beached messiah
While pretty girls make graves
Pretty girls make graves
Pretty girls make graves
Pretty girls make graves
(Here we go)
Who the hell are you, boy?
Don't you ever knock?
Who the hell are you, boy?
Paper, scissors, rock
Paper, scissors, rock
Paper, scissors, rock
Nostalgia's great and stories are good
Nothing like an old time coming 'round again
Nostalgia's great, thinking 'bout fate
Wondering how it all could have been
I've been outside, drifting outside
So long, can't start again
I've been outside, living outside
Don't see me walkin' back in
The sun is cruel to a stranger's face
Takes its toll, then fades away
Nights are long, in a lonely place
Darkness shows just where you are now
I've been outside, drifting outside
So long, can't start again
And I've been outside, living outside
Don't see me walkin' back in
I think about you now
And again my autumn love
I think about you now and again
Somethin' 'bout your name
It moves within the wind
I think about you now and again
Nostalgia's great, old stories are good
I was walking on my
Hands and knees
Searching for the ground
I had fallen from
And as I ran my fingers
Through the long string grass
And she found your ring and
I placed it on my hand at last
I won't cry, I won't cry
Looking up, I saw your face
Or was it just a cloud
Ooh (oh, ooh)
In a marble sky?
And you marched away
In your evening dress
And I waved goodbye
To you just like this, like this
(solo)
As I ran my fingers
Through the long string grass
And she found your ring and
I placed it on my hand at last
I won't cry, I won't cry
I won't cry, I won't, I won't
I won't cry, I won't cry
Down, down, down (not one lonely tear)
Down, down, down, down (not one lonely tear)
Down, down, down, down (no, not one stupid tear)
Love, love, love, love is a weird thing
You can never really figure it out
Oh, love, love, love is such a strange scene
Touch it, taste it, what's it all about?
If there's one thing that I found
It ain't easy comin' down
'Cause love, love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Life, life, life, life is a strange bird
Flyin' upside down against the wind
Yeah, life, life, life, life is a big word
Hello, good afternoon, goodbye, good luck, my friend
Well if there's one thing that I know
You gotta let it flow
'Cause life, life is a weird thing
Yeah, life is a weird thing
An' life is a weird thing
Life is a weird thing
There is a window in time
What can you see today?
You reach for everything
A million miles away
You, you, you, you make it better
Nothing is perfect, sure, but it's alright
Yeah, you, you, you, you make it matter
I want you next to me every night
If there's one thing that I've learned
You gotta wait your turn
'Cause love, love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing
Yeah, love is a weird thing
Love is a weird thing (love is a weird thing)
Yeah, love is a weird thing (love is a weird thing)
Love is a weird thing, yeah, yeah
(love is a weird thing)
Love is a weird thing
(love is a weird thing, love is a weird thing)
Love is a weird thing
(love is a weird thing, love is a weird thing)
Love is a weird thing

Doctor, my eyes are burnin'
Don't understand much anymore
So I'll pull them out
Roll them on the floor
(Aah-ah) oh, no
(Aah-ah)
Just my way of saying (just my way of saying)
I can't take much more (I can't take much more)
Just my little way (just my little way)
If the clouds don't lift much higher
And free birds just die
Then I'll clip my wings
Hurl them to the sky
(Aah-ah)
(Aah-ah) oh
Just my way of saying (just my way of saying)
I can't take much more (I can't take much more)
Just my little way (just my little way)
(Aah-ah, aah, oh yeah) oh no, oh yeah
(Aah-ah, aah, oh yeah) oh no, oh yeah
You can't change my mind
You can't take me up the stairs
??? down the ???

Just a fashion of a crumbling world
A crumbling world
(Aah)
(Aah, a-ha) no
Just my way of saying (just my way of saying)
I can't take much more (I can't take much more)
It's just my little way (just my little way)
Just my little way (just my little way)
I can't take much more (I can't take much more)
It's just my little way (just my little way)
I turned on my TV, put in a CD
Opened up the morning news
I tuned in the radio to hear the latest video
A seven second sample of blues
I'm everywhere I wanna be
Nowhere especially, somewhere in between
I'm faded and jaded and way overrated
I read it in a magazine
Information undertow, everybody's in the know
I think I'll hide my head up in a cloud
Super stardom overload, I need to get back on the road
Tune it all out and turn it up too loud
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
I picked up a new toy to get me some quick joy
It's got all the whistles and bells
My friends are all jealous, that's what they tell us
So why do I feel like hell?
I lit up my Apple, surfed through the shrapnel
Accessed my on line babe
She reads Aristotle, says she's a model
But I've never seen her face
Information undertow, everybody's in the know
I think I'll hide my head up in a cloud
Super stardom overload, I need to get back on the road
Tune it all out and turn it up too loud
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
Oh, I can feel the ocean
Oh, it's calling out my name
I'm gonna get all wet just as soon as I get
My fifteen minutes of fame
Information undertow, we're dying to be in the know
We're better off when our heads were in the clouds
Super stardom overload, we need to get back on the road
Tune it all up and turn it up too loud
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
Do people still wave lighters in the crowd?
There is a girl who wanted to go
Inside the head of everyone she don't know
Got lots of questions, lots on her mind
She likes to look for things she don't want to find
I get high, high
I get high, high
I get high, high
I get high, high
There is a girl who wanted to know
What do I mean when I say hello
She's always trippin' into the unknown
She asks me why we live together just to die all alone
I get high, high
I get high, high
I get high, high
I get high, high
And the sun shines in the evening
She's standing all alone
And the sun shines in the evening
She's nowhere left to go
And the sun shines in the evening, standing all alone
There is a girl who wanted to go
Inside the head of everyone she don't know
One day she shut her mouth, opened her eyes
Sometimes we hang around, check out the skies
I get high, high
I get high, high
I get high, high
That day I said I was going fishing well
I lied
But I did manage to pull my head from
The water
And watched as all my stupid ideas poured
From my eyes and my-y ears
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo)
They ran downstream and picked up steam to rise
Through the sky
Forever become the clouds that come down on
My saddest days
When I'm reminded that it was my bright idea
To leave you
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
All I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah) Now I'm baiting a
(Ah, ah) Tongue to be flung around town
(Ah) In hopes of finding
(Ah, ah) Someone on the way down
(Ah) Now I'm baiting a
(Ah, ah) Tongue to be flung around town
(Ah) In hopes of finding
(Ah, ah) Someone on the way down
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
There's a fire in my head
Shines out my eyes
There's a fuse in my mind
Burns down my spine
Nobody sees it but I'm hollowed out
Nobody feels it but I'm hollowed out
It's funny to me
How a fire needs to breathe
Must be a new kind of flame
Feeds off my pain
Nobody sees it but I'm hollowed out
Nobody feels it but I'm hollowed out
Hey, hey, hollow man
Hey, hey, I'm a hollow man
I got nothing inside to hurt me again
Hey, hey, I'm a hollow man
Hollow, hollow
(Ah-ha, hollow)
Hollow, hollow
(Hollow, ah-ha)
Hollow
(Hollow, hollow)
There's a fire in my head
Shines out my eyes
No worries weigh on my mind
Fate is deaf, dumb and blind
Nobody sees it but I'm hollowed out
Nobody feels it but I'm hollowed out
Hey, hey, hollow man
Hey, hey, I'm a hollow man
I got nothing inside to hurt me again
Hey, hey, I'm a hollow man, yeah
Hollow, hollow
(Ah-ha, hollow)
Hollow, hollow
(Hollow, ah-ha)
Hollow, hollow
(Hollow, hollow, ah-ha)
Hollow, hollow
(Hollow, hollow, ah-ha)
Hollow, hollow
(Hollow, hollow, ah-ha)
Hollow, hollow
Things didn't go as I planned
I couldn't meet my own demands
I coulda sworn I tried to get it right, yeah
But 30 years of drinkin' makes a man real tired
Always said it's easier
Holiday, oh (Easy, yeah)
Holiday, mm (na na na na, na na na na)
Holiday (da da da da, da da da da da da da da)
Eggshells and coffee grind stained tile

Sour milk and booze will hold a while
(da da da da, da da da da da da da da)
I coulda sworn I tried to get it right
(da da da da, da da da da da da da na)
But time's got a way of fuckin' up my style
(da da da da, da da da da da da da da)
Always said it's easier
Holiday, oh (Easy, yeah)
Holiday (da da da da, da da da da)

I know a girl who sees the good in things
No coins could cover both her eyes
When I've convinced myself (aah)
Everything's all wrong
She turns me on
Turns me 'round, upside down
'Cause she could see the colour
'Cause she could see the colour
(Da da da da da)
Two daisies for her eyes
'Cause she could see color
White rays surround her yellow disc
I need this girl to see the (aah)
Good in things, uh, huh, huh
Tie-dye desire in a black-light kiss
'Cause she could see the colour
'Cause she could see the colour
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
I need this girl who sees the good in things
(I need this girl who sees the good in things)
No coins could cover both her eyes

She could see the colour
She could see the colour
She could see the colour
She could see the colour
Champagne, Champagne
I love those little bubbles
Champagne, Champagne
Though they get me into trouble
Lord, how I wish it would rain
Champagne, Champagne, Champagne
Champagne, Champagne
From Hong Kong to New York
Everybody celebrate
With a pop of the cork
Let it fly like an aeroplane
Champagne, Champagne, Champagne
Oh, pour me another flute of that
Sweet French liquid loot, love
Notre Dame, Paris charm
Victor Hugo and crepes
'Till there's nothin' from France
Like the king of the grapes
Champagne, Champagne
Forgive me if I coddle
But when I get my hands
'Round that bubble and bottle
I guess I go a little insane
Champagne, Champagne, Champagne
(Johnny)
(solo)
Oh, pour me another flute of that
Sweet French liquid loot, love
Notre Dame, Paris charm
Victor Hugo and crepes

Though they get me into trouble
Lord, how I wish it would rain
Champagne, Champagne, Champagne
Please feel free to carry on
With my good friend Dom Perignon
Let it rain sweet
All the leaves are brown
(all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray
(and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk
(I've been for a walk)
On a Winter's day
You know I'd be safe and warm
(I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A.
(If I was in L.A.)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a Winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
You know I got down on my knees, yeah
(got down on my knees)
I began to pray
You know the preacher locked the door
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a Winter's day
(solo)
All the leaves are brown
The sky is gray
I went for a walk (not a stroll)
on a Winter's day
You know that I'd be safe and warm

If I was in L.A.

California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a Winter's day (California dreamin')

Broke Jennifer's window
I don't really know the reason why
It's just how my mind goes
I wondered how she'd reply
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo
From someone to zero
Let all of the flowers die
It's funny how plans go
Spaceships fall out of the sky
Is it true about you?
About you and the things you do
Is it true about you?
About you, about you
Doo doo doo doo (doo doo doo doo)
Doo doo doo doo, doo (doo doo doo doo, doo)
Doo doo doo doo (doo doo doo doo)
Doo doo doo doo, hoo (doo doo doo doo, hoo)
I'm watching the wind blow
I'm watching the days go by
Broke Jennifer's window
I'm watching the world wave goodbye
Is it true about you?
About you and the things you do
Is it true about you?
About you, about you
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo doo
(Hah) doo doo doo doo doo
Broke Jennifer's window
Don't really know the reason why
Broke Jennifer's window
I wondered how she'd reply
(Hah) Hah, yeah
(Hah) Hah, yeah
(Hah) Hah, yeah, yeah
Two lovers stroll the evening
Each other more believing in their heart
That love is forever true
Their shadows formed by moonlight
Dance silently across the boulevard
An urban waltz just for two, tonight
Tonight
Tonight, stardust will rain down from the sky
A night wind will sing a lullaby
Too sweet to hear, tonight
Tonight
(solo)
Tonight, stardust will rain down from the sky
A night wind will sing a lullaby
Too sweet to hear, tonight
Two shadows in the moonlight
Dance silently along the boulevard
Of dreams
Blue girl, Blue girl
Blue girl, why so alone?
You're 'bout as lucky as a weekend in Lebanon
Blue girl, don't be afraid
I know you're down, but you're starting to fade
Father told you twice to keep it all inside yourself
Let me hear you cry, I want to
Blue girl, Blue girl
I want to be there when the rain starts to fall
Blue girl
Blue girl, don't run away
You won't get far, been halfway to yesterday
Blue girl, come take my hand
I just might be the one, the one who will understand
Father told you twice to keep it all inside yourself
Let me hear you cry, I want to
Blue girl, Blue girl
I want to be there when the rain starts to fall
Blue girl
Try to breathe
Everything goes from your mind
Let her be
Come on, baby please
'Cause you can be anything you want
Come fall with me
(solo)
Let me hear you cry, I want to
I want to
Blue girl, blue girl
I want to be there when the rains starts to fall
Blue girl
I want to be there when the rain starts to fall
Blue girl
As I hurry down the sidewalk
Briefcase in my hands
Thoughts of you still fill my mind
As the newspapers fill the stands
People rushing everywhere
I think the world woke up too soon
Right now, more than anything
I wish I's back in bed with-a you
Step into the elevator
Press for floor seventeen
It's a long way to the top
So of you again I dream
Doors open, secretary waiting
With more paperwork for me to do
Right now, more than anything
I wish I's back in bed with-a you, with you
Phone's ringin', typewriter's singin'
No I wasn't ready for this
I think back to the AM
When my arms were full of bliss
Here comes my boss
I know just what he's up to
Right now, more than anything
I wish I was back in bed with you
(solo)
Only twenty-two more minutes
'Til five o'clock rolls around
I'll roll my office back into my briefcase
And I'll head back through my town
I won't notice all the traffic
Be whistlin' my favorite tune
For in just a little while I'll reach home and I'll
Crawl back into bed with you
With you, you
With you
You dumped me like a piece of trash
You let me go just like some employee
You spent me like your petty cash
Did you ever think that you could destroy me?
Right now I wish I was a billion miles away
Out past the farthest star
Floating in some nebulae cloud
Yeah, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now
Anywhere but in my room alone
Like a jerk waitin' by the phone
Cryin' like some indigo clown
Wish I was anywhere but now
My friends they try to cheer me up
(Up, up, up, up)
They say that all I need is a little time
But they never drank love, from your cup
(Cup, cup, cup, cup)
I swear you changed my water into wine
Then you dropped my heart out of the
Thirteenth story window
And it shattered just like glass
Yeah, I just gotta get away somehow
Yeah, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now
Anywhere but stuck inside my head
Drowning in my bed
Milking teardrops from your sacred cow
Wish I was anywhere but now
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Anywhere with you, I would have gone
Anywhere with you, is where I belong
Anywhere with you, you turn me on
Anywhere but now
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(solo)
Right now I wish I was a billion miles away
Out past the farthest star
I just gotta get away somehow
Yeah, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now, yeah
Yeah, anywhere but now
Anywhere but now
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Anywhere but now)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Whoa, anywhere but now)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Any day the wind blows
You can find her runnin' out on me
Any day the wind blows
You might find her kissing someone
Who is a loser, who is a bruiser
Who will abuse her 'til she's had her fill
Who is a user
She likes a cruiser
When she gets an extra afternoon to kill
Any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows
You can find her runnin' out on me
Any day the wind blows
You might see her leave the party
With Ray, who's a junker
Craig is a punker
Sean thinks he's Dino in his thunderbird
Dave is the neighbor
Who thinks he can save her
Bores her to death with the spoken word
Any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows
Got me a fine day
Got me a ride
Got me a fine day
Got me a ride
(what?)
Any day the wind blows
You can find her leavin' like a breeze
Any day the wind blows
You can find her counting all of these
One, it's a Friday
Two, there's a highway
Three, just a little change of scenery
Four, it's her birthday
Five, it's a Thursday
Sex, if I'm lucky and she's lost her keys
Any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows
Got me a fine day
Got me a ride
Got me a fine day
Got me a ride
Got me a fine day
Got me a ride
Got me a fine day
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
Any day the wind blows, any day the wind blows
I was hangin' off a balcony over the strip
Checkin' out the freaks below
It was a very good night to get a grip
Or fall into my own creep show
Danglin' like some drool from a mad dog's mouth
Dyin' for some sympathy
I heard a sweet young voice callin' up my way
And this is what she said to me
Well, it's alright, it's OK
Don't you know tomorrow's another day?
Don't look now, here comes the dawn
Baby, sometimes you gotta just hang on
Yeah, yeah, just hang on
Well I followed her directions and gave it some time
An' things began to work out somehow
'Til one night eatin' Chinese I get a call from Ruiz
He said "You better come over right now"
A-he was takin' a bath in his best green suit
Buzzin' like a wet grenade
He was tryin' to wash away his dirty blues
With some bubbles and a razor blade
Said-a, it's alright, it's OK
Don't you know tomorrow's another day?
Don't look now, here comes the dawn
Baby, sometimes you gotta just hang on
Yeah, yeah, just hang on, a-hang on
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(solo)
So when you're hangin' off a balcony over the strip
Wonderin' where it all went wrong
An' just remember there's a band settin' up on your ship
Waitin' to play your song
'Cause it's alright, it's OK
Don't you know tomorrow's another day?
Don't look now, here comes the dawn
Brother, sometimes you gotta just hang on
It's alright, it's OK
Don't you know tomorrow's another day?
Don't look now, here comes the dawn
Baby, sometimes you gotta just hang on
Yeah, yeah, just hang on
Come on and just hang on
A-just hang on
It's alright
An' it's ok
It's alright
It's ok
(more solo)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Children crushed by the threats and fears,
No more time for dreaming.
A world without visions,
Futures painted grey.
There is no promise,
Disaster looms.
The shadow of hostile threats leaves,
No room to grow.
As a generation comes to see,
the madness we're facing.
This self-destruction,
defies all sense.
A world much smaller,
Beyond control.
Our way of life ruled by,
Impermanence.
Our future seems meaningless,
Nothing to plan for.
The "psychic toll" leaves,
Cultures in doubt.
With no security,
An unstable view.
My way of life shaped by,
The promised doom.
Children crushed by the threats and fears,
No more time for dreaming.
We've tried and failed son,
Try something else.
The party's over,
Time to start anew.
I'm so confused now,
(sounds of the city, people talking)
(Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
The man who made the movies
About monkeys and God
Wants all the boys and girls
To be packin' a rod
He thinks the world will be a better place
If everyone out in the human race
Would carry the equipment that'll keep 'em safe
With just one little flaw
You gotta worry 'bout those crazy kids
With the quick draw
While you're prayin' to the man
Who made the movies
About monkeys and God
Yeah, yeah, alright
Yeah, yeah, alright
Wake up in the morning
Smell that San Francisco air
I know it's gonna be a good day, yeah, yeah
Walk around without a care
Golden Gates embrace me
Yeah, it really has it all
A perfect day awaits me
With just one little flaw
You gotta worry 'bout those crazy kids
With the quick draw
While you're prayin' to the man
Who made the movies
About monkeys and God
Oh yeah, alright
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Ha, ha, ha, ha-ha-ah
The man who made the movies
About monkeys and God
Wants everyone packin' in the USA
He smiles wide to applause
Now we're all gonna get our way
Now we're all in charge of Judgment Day
Now we get on our knees to pray
With just one little flaw
You gotta worry 'bout
Those crazy kids
With the quick draw, oh no
While you're prayin' to the man
Who made the movies
About monkeys and God, oh-ho
Prayin' to the man

About monkeys and God
Alright, yeah, yeah
She pours like red wine
Into me
She crawls like green vine
Wraps around me endlessly
She floats above me
Without strings
She tries to love me
As she loves everything
Yeah, I really believe she tries to love me
But in the meantime
Baby's got an 8 track mind
Baby's got an 8 track mind
Baby's got an 8 track mind
And I'm number, I'm number...
She plays her records
In the sun
She's warping my mind
Likes to keep me on the run
She burns her candles
In my hand
She wants to know me
Doesn't want to understand
Yeah, I really believe she wants to know me
In the meantime
Baby's got an 8 track mind
Baby's got an 8 track mind
Baby's got an 8 track mind
And I'm number 9

Look at me I'm ten feet tall
Jungle-Jim, hope I don't fall
Gather 'round for my playground
show
They call me Time, my real name is
Timothy
Your attention please but please not
your sympathy
My dad's real cool
He discovered Mars
And my mom is a movie star
The kids at school don't let me play
anything
But I don't care because I have
everything
Any boy could ever need
A helicopter that takes me
anywhere
A diamond horse, yeah my dad's a
millionaire
Don't mind the holes in my knees
And my mom's a movie star
Bill Green grabs his lunch from the
window sill
I left mine home, how 'bout a bite
of your sandwich, Bill
A friend in need is a friend indeed
The teacher asks oh where are you
parents Tim
It's been five months and I've seen
no sign of them
My dad's not here
He flew back to Mars
and my mom is a movie star
She's a movie star
She's a movie star
My dad's drunk in a bar
And my mom's crashed the car
If you got a picture of your face
Could you leave it on your way out the door?
I don't care if it's color or black or white
I just need something to remember you by
Oh, before my life went dim
(Before my life went dim)
Oh, before my life went dim
(Before my life went dim)
No one told me the trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
I painted half my face so green
Don't you know I painted half my face blue?
In hopes of showing you both sides of me
(both sides of me)
I guess it came down to "don't you love me?"
(don't you love me?)
Oh, before my life went dim
(Before my life went dim)
Oh, before my life went dim
(Before my life went dim)
No one told me the trouble I was in
Before my life went dim
(solo)
Can't this car go any faster?
Can't this car go any faster?
Can't this car go any faster? (Faster, faster)
Can't this car go 'cause I can still see where I am
Oh, before my life went dim
(Before my life went dim)
Oh, before my life went dim
(Before my life went dim)
You shoulda told me the trouble I was in
There's a road that runs through the desert
Another that leads to the sea
I keep my map secure in my wallet
'Cause someday I just might leave, I just might leave
I'm feeling buried alive in Arkansas
So much clean air, I can't breathe
I got a horoscope that says I'm a winner
And a few good ideas up my sleeve
So come on girl, we'll leave tonight
On the next train out of my mind
We'll look out on the world
From the next train out of my mind
I got magazines with pictures of cites
Messin' up my mama's car
I got an infomercial number
Connection to make me a star
So come on girl, we'll leave tonight
On the next train out of my mind
We'll look out at the world
From the next train out of my mind, out of my mind
(solo)
Somebody already climbed every mountain
Somebody already walked on the moon
Ain't nothing left to discover
Ain't no reason to leave this room
And when I get up in the morning
And I stand there paralyzed
'Cause I look at my own reflection
You know I'm seeing my old man's eyes
So come on girl, we'll leave tonight
On the next train out of my mind
We'll look out on the world
From the next train out of my mind
Come on girl, we'll leave tonight
On the next train out of my mind
We'll look out at the world
From the next train out of my mind
I got magazines with pictures of cities
They're messin' up my mama's car
I need to get me a Mel Bay book
And learn how to play guitar
(One, two)
They call her Stretch Annie
She's as tall as an ol' pine tree
They call her Stretch Annie
Say giraffe runs in her family
They call her Stretch Annie
But she sure look good to me
You got to reach up in the sky
If you just wanna hold her hand
She makes every guy she dates
Look just like Napoleon
When her teacher said "sit down"
She said "I'm sorry miss, I already am"
They call her Stretch Annie
She's as tall as an ol' pine tree
Oh, they call her Stretch Annie
Say giraffe runs in her family, yeah
They call her Stretch Annie
But she sure look good to me
Some girls they try with all their might
To gain a little height by wearin' high heels
And puffin' up their hair
Well, Annie she just laughs
When all the girls they ask
"How's the weather up there?", ow
(solo)
Some girls they try with all their might
To gain a little height by wearin' high heels
And puffin' up their hair
Well, Annie she'll just laugh
When all the girls they ask
"How's the weather up there?"
They call you Stretch Annie
You're as tall as an ol' pine tree
(Yeah, oh) oh, wow
They call you Stretch Annie
Say giraffe runs in her family, yeah, yeah
Call you Stretch Annie
'Cause you sure look good to me, to me
They call you Stretch Annie
'Cause you sure look good to me, now
I love you, Stretch Annie
'Cause you still ain't as tall
(Still ain't as tall)
Don't bother me
I ain't got time
For your misery
It's not that I'm too busy
It's just that I'm waiting for the
(ooh, ooh)
I'm waiting for the (ooh, ooh)
I'm waiting for the world
To find somebody else
To deal with all the scum
I'm doin' fine
In my green chair
Watching Rush and drinkin' a beer
What's that? He just said something funny
(ooh, ooh)
He's waiting for the (ooh, ooh)
He's waiting for the world
To find somebody else
To deal with all the scum
What ever happened to the way it was?
The way it was
What ever happened to my way?
My way, my way
(solo)
Don't make a sound
There's someone at the door
They're probably pushing
Freedom of whatever it is today
Be quiet and hope they go away
(ooh, ooh)
I'm waiting for the (ooh, ooh)
We're waiting for the world
To find somebody else
To deal with all the scum
(ooh, ooh)
I'm waiting for the (ooh, ooh)
I'm waiting for the world
To find somebody else
There's a puzzle in my head
Spend a lifetime finding pieces
It will take forever to put together
The square and the round
Something that proves I'm not
Hangin' around, hangin' around
You wanna leave, you wanna leave
But there's someone inside you just don't trust
You wanna leave, you make believe
That your life is not a wreck and it will never rust, no
Don't want your money
Your milk and honey
You'll never love me
I won't bring you down
Yeah, there's a desert in my head tonight
I'll lie here like a dead man all night
I still have a face, it looks like mine
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only, I could reach my mind
You wanna leave, you wanna leave
But someone inside you just don't trust
You wanna leave, you make believe
That your life is not a wreck and you'll never rust, no
Don't want your money
Your milk and honey
You'll never love me
I won't bring you down
Don't want your money
Your milk and honey
You'll never love me
I won't bring you down, down, down, down
You'll never love me
I could be a Casanova
If I could get out on my own
I'm always tied to someone's finger
I'd like to break that little bone
Be the big man in this small town
Try my hand at being cool
Drink Martinis with a virgin
Cash out on the golden rule
But I don't wanna be lonely
Let it all go to waste
I don't wanna be lonely
Like some playboy in outer space
Make a scene with all the hipsters
Stay out late and never leave
Let it all ride double zero
Is that so hard to believe
I could even go soul searching
Try to find my inner child
Spend my money on some new wheels
Sit back and watch the girls go wild
But I don't wanna be lonely
Let it all go to waste
I don't wanna be lonely
Like some playboy in outer space
Like some playboy in outer space
I could be a Casanova
If I could get out on my own
Get some darlings on the sofa
Make them dinner, make them moan
Lose a few friends in the meanwhile
Win a weekend at the Sands
Take a real chance on losing you
Could you ever understand
But I don't wanna be lonely
Let it all go to waste
I don't wanna be lonely
Like some playboy in outer space
But I don't want to be lonely
What a terrible waste
I don't want to be lonely
Like some playboy in outer space
Like some playboy in outer space
Like some playboy in outer space
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
Nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you
Nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you
Every morning, there's a sermon
Always something I'm not learning
Nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you
(doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)
There's nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you
(doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)
Nothing's certain, life's a curtain
I hide behind it when I'm hurtin'
There's one thing I'm sure of
There's one thing I'm sure of
There's one thing I'm sure of
Nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you
(doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)
Nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you
Oh yeah, there's nothing like you
(doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo)
(solo)
There's one thing I'm sure of

There's one thing I'm sure of
Nothing like you, yeah
There's nothing like you

I moved to Hollywood to stake out
A claim of my own
(I...) I took a job in Westwood, stealing records
Beatles and Stones
Then a girl stops diggin' through the garbage
To hold her hand out
Said she was Brando's lover
Before this town died
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye, bye, bye
I tried to shake off this awful feeling I was
Born too late
(I...) I took a walk in Gable's town and I found that they
Ground it down to keychains and paperweights
(Paperweights)
Then a man stops sleeping on the sidewalk
To hold his hand out
Said he was Dick Burton's tailor
Before this town died
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
(solo)
Goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Kiss Hollywood goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Yeah, yeah, she's gone
(One, two)
I wish you were here now
I'm feeling low
I wonder how you are
I miss you so
We'd be together
Just like before
A break in the weather
A truce in the war
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
I'd take you somewhere
Away from the crowd
We'd drift forever
On my getaway cloud
La, la, la, la (I wish you were here now)
La, la, la, la (make the pain disappear)
La, la, la, la (distortion is clear now)
La, la, la, la (how I wish you were here)
La, la, la, la
It's not impossible to make it
It's time for you to come on home
(solo)
It's not impossible to make it
It's time for you to come on home, home
Silence can hold you
Dazed in a dream
It gets so quiet
You want to scream
I see only one star
Through my window pane
I'll make a wish, girl
'Cause it's starting to rain
La, la, la, la (I wish you were here now)
La, la, la, la (make the pain disappear)
La, la, la, la (I wish you were here now)
La, la, la, la (how I wish you were here)
I used to hide my Camels
In a paper bag
I only took them out
When it was safe to drag
My first sixteen years
In a catholic-boy suit
One father with a sixer
And a steel-toe boot
He said son we're all...
Here today gone tomorrow
Here today gone tomorrow
One night in the mirror
I saw a movie star
So I flew to Hollywood
In a neighbor's car
A pack of No-Doze
I'm a bundle of nerves
Laughing out loud
As the highway curves
'Cause you see we're all just...
Here today gone tomorrow
Here today gone tomorrow
Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena
I picked up a hiker named Tina
Now oe've only been here
A couple of weeks
Soakin up the sun, the drugs
And the freaks
We hit it off
So we moved in together
Got a cat named Ringo
And it purred like leather
We robbed a bank in
Santa Monica
Bought a Caddy and a
Gold harmonica
We'd ride by day
We'd play by night
We're makin' love every night
Here today gone tomorrow
Here today gone tomorrow
So we went up to Hef's
To meet some bunnies
I saw Hugh he was actin' funny
He handed me some grass and a
Vodka & gin
That was about the time that Jack
Webb walked in
He said "Son I'm gonna tell you
Something and it ain't pretty
There's a thousand way to die in
This naked city"
Here today gone tomorrow
Here today gone tomorrow
You know we're
He came to town when I came of age
Full of piss and full of rage
He thought that he could serve me well
By drowning me in the wishing well
Oh, Green, Green, Green Henry
He bothers me when I'm alone
Strips my mood like Acidtone
Applies the pins right to my heart
He'd like to tear me apart
Oh, Green, Green, Green Henry
Oh, Green, Green, Green Henry
Turns me in, turns me out
Makes me dim, makes me doubt
Everything, everything I do is wrong
Oh yeah, oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
(solo)
He's always sayin' I'm no good
Now I don't understand what's understood
So I killed him once and I realize
My Green Henry never dies
Green, Green, Green Henry
Oh, Green, Green, Green Henry
Oh, Green, Green, Green Henry
(Come on, come on, come on, oh)
If I'm gonna live with you
Don't ride me, baby
If I'm gonna live with you
Don't ride me, baby
'Cause I'm just people
That's all I am
I'm just people
That's all I am
If you're gonna touch me
Don't hurt me, baby
If you're gonna touch me
Don't hurt me, baby
'Cause I'm just people
It's all I am
I'm just people (aah)
It's all I am
It's all I am, it's all I am (all, it's all I am)
It's all I am, it's all I am (all)
It's all I am, it's all I am (all, it's all I am)
It's all I am, that's all
If we're gonna be together
Don't starve me, baby
If we're gonna be together
Don't starve me, baby
I'm just people
It's all I am
I'm just people
It's all I am
If I'm gonna die here
Let it be in peace, baby
If I'm gonna die here
Let it be in peace, baby
I'm just people
It's all I am
I'm just people
It's all I am
It's all I am, it's all I am (all, it's all I am)
It's all I am, it's all I am (all)
It's all I am, it's all I am (all, it's all I am)

White Men in ties discussing missile size,
Right men tell lies, discussing missile size,
“More bombs, bigger size”, they say through bloodshot
eyes,
“No way to verify – the other side still lies!”
White men in ties discussing missile size.
Why don’t we call ourselves a summit? –to debate the
all insane,
How to justify our efforts go most surely down the
drain,
I’ll bet you know mine is bigger, but you can’t be
really sure,
One wrong move and I’ll pull the trigger, and hell will
rain from the skies!
White Men in ties discussing missile size,
Money goes to oversize, discussing missile size,
Through space they’ll fly – no defense could survive,
Peace through big size –an awkward compromise,
White men in ties discussing missile size.
Look at all we’ve wasted in a childish game like that,
“Yours is longer” / “Mine is wider” – “We have more to
battle back”
It never really matters what they do or what they try,
Just lament the wasted energies while a hungry world
still cries.
White Men in ties discussing missile size,
Right men tell lies, discussing missile size,
“More bombs, bigger size”, they say through bloodshot
eyes,

Happy girls like little squirrels
Are shopping in the sun
An' buying things to grease their wings
They smile at everyone
I used to dream of them each night
In their golden dirty tans
I used to think that one day
I would love to be their man
Ain't it funny how things change?
'Cause now my girl is the one who's a little strange
She grows blue roses
In her garden just for me
She grows blue roses
Waters them with misery
And heaven only knows
How my baby grows
Blue roses, blue roses, blue roses
Those summer girls with strings of pearls
Are dancing on the moon
Taunting boys with wanting toys
To pop their red balloons
But not my girl, she's in her room
Melting candle wax
Unto my heart, she drips the dart
That lets my mind relax
And when she cries into my arms
I love her more, my bad luck charm, yeah
She grows blue roses
In her garden just for me
She grows blue roses
Waters them with misery
And heaven only knows
How my baby grows
Blue roses, blue roses, blue roses
(undecipherable background vocals)
She grows blue roses
In her garden just for me
She grows blue roses
Waters them with misery
And heaven only knows
How my baby grows
She grows blue roses
In the garden of her pain
She grows blue roses
I've seen them booming in the rain
And heaven only knows
How my baby grows
Blue roses, blue roses, blue roses
Blue roses, blue roses, blue roses
I'm going back to high school
And this time I won't be overcome
I'm gonna get all A's and ask out girls
Instead of being dumb
This time I'll save all my money
I won't fall where I fell
I'll hang out with the freaks
And smoke out with the geeks, crawl out of my shell
In my beautiful turnback time machine
Undo what's been done while you're making the scene
All your stupid mistakes will fix nice and clean
Beautiful turnback time machine, beautiful turnback time machine
This time I'll go to college become
The intellectual kind
Get a Ph.D. in brain surgery
Blow my parents' minds
I'll buy a house on the ocean
Take up electric guitar
Start a band, write a hit song
Marry a porno star
In my beautiful turnback time machine
Undo what's been done while you're making the scene
All your stupid mistakes will fix nice and clean
Beautiful turnback time machine, beautiful turnback time machine
Beautiful turnback time machine, beautiful turnback time machine
Let's go for a ride, come on inside
Let's go for a ride, just close your eyes
I could save the Kennedy's
And Lennon, Luther King
Come to think of it I might change
Every single thing
In my beautiful turnback time machine
Undo what's been done while you're making the scene
All your stupid mistakes will fix nice and clean
In my beautiful turnback time machine
Undo what's been done while you're making the scene
All your stupid mistakes will fix nice and clean
Beautiful turnback time machine, in my beautiful turnback time machine
Monday was our big disaster
Tuesday we fell back in bliss
Wednesday you were through
'Til Thursday night when you adored me
I'm either walkin' through your field of eggshells
Or skating down your street of dreams
I don't mean to stir this pot of gold
But there's one thing I've got to know this morning
So, are we in love again?
Is it off? Is it on?
Are we going? Am I gone?
Are we in love again?
Is it wrong? Is it real?
Baby, tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
I don't want it to end, so
Are we in love again?
Sometimes I get the strangest feeling
That we have both been here before
And I don't want to spoil your meal
But babe, how do we feel this evening?
So, are we in love again?
Is it off? Is it on?
Are we going? Am I gone?
Are we in love again?
Is it wrong? Is it real?
Baby, tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
I don't want it to end, so
Are we in love again?
'Cause your love's like a rain fallin' down on me
Yeah, it feels so good and it feels so free
And I can't escape
An' there's no one like you that can turn me on
When we're lyin' here in the naked dawn
I can see forever now
(solo)
So, are we in love again?
Is it off? Is it on?
Are we going? Am I gone?
Are we in love again?
Is it wrong? Is it real?
Baby, tell me what to feel
And I will pretend
That you meant what you said
And we'll jump back into bed
Will this ever end?
So, are we in love again?
Are we in love again?
Hey, mama
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey mama, don't look now
I found my place so you could be proud
There's a place for me in the
All-American Suicide
A chance to be all I can be
A chance to catch a bullet between my teeth
Theres a place for me in the
All-American Suicide
And there's no time like the future
When the present seems past tense
I got a .38 Special and an MBA
I'll use it in my self-defense
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, there's a place for me in the
All-American Suicide
(solo)
Oh, there's a place for me in the
All-American Suicide
And there's no time like the future
When the present seems past tense
I got a .38 Special and an MBA
I'll use it in my self-defense, oh
Ooh yeah
I got a pair of pants that fit me well
With a Rolling Stones patch that means "go to hell"
There's a place for me in the
All-American Suicide
There's a place for me in the
All-American Suicide
All-American Suicide
All-American Suicide
(There's a place for me in the All-American)
Yeah, there's a place for me in the

All-American, there's a place for me in

All-American
