Walking pneumonia's got you down on your knees
Praising the Lord cause you think it's too late
Fear of the unknown's got you ready to tumble cause you
know you can crumble like an old piece of cake
When all the things you took for granted before
Seem important now, then you know it's too cold
to be cool ... yeah you know you're too cold
Only another person going through pain can understand
The pain you're going through. You don't need a well
adjusted, sterilized computer type to analyze what's
wrong with you. When all the things you took for granted
before seem important now, then you know it's too cold
to be cool ... yeah you know you're too cold to be cool.
I've been here once before
The feelings are familiar but the faces have changed
And the last time I swore
I'd never put my self out on the line that way
Another man would walk away
Another man would say he's had enough
But I'm ready to go again
Cause she's been through it just like me
And she can tell that this time it's for real
This time there'll be no mistake
This time if the world falls in around us
We'll be strong enough to put it all back again
She used to be so sure
She'd never take a chance with anyone again
She had it all worked out
And then just like me she found herself alive again
Another girl would be afraid
Another girl would turn and run away
But she's ready to go again
Cause she's been through it just like me
Disco roller frisbee punk rockers
We can be just like you
It's a changing world
Everything changes
Seasons and everything changes just like you
It's a strangeling world
All the little baby strangers
Everyone trying to be a little bit stranger than you
We're the Techni Generation
Disco roller frisbee punk rockers
We can be just like you
It's an A.M. world
I am you am we A.M.
No one cares about frequency modulation anymore
We're the Techni Generation
We're so technical
We can be just like any other generation
We can be just like you
We're the Techni Generation
Disco roller frisbee punk rockers
She got the hot light shining on you
The kids are sleeping now she's making her move
She gets dirty from the Frederick's store
You fall asleep because you've seen it before
Stealer, I will take her away
Stealer, I take her far away
Stealer, I will take her away from you
Don't like to go to downtown bars
Them single ladies make me work too hard
I watch the suburbs and the laundramats
I watch the husbands as I sneak out the back
Stealer, I will take her away
Stealer, I take her far away
When I close my eyes to fall asleep
The radio takes over my room
I try to sympathize and think it's me
But I just hear the same old tunes
I watch the little line as I turn the dial
and try to find something new
But all I get is more of the superstars
Climbing up from Number 2
Ah every single time, it's singles time
Ah every single time the radio cries
It's singles time
She left me for some guy the other day
A DJ on from 10 to 2
He showed her how to figure out the countdown
Now she wants to be a DJ too
So when I close my eyes to fall asleep
And I take my radio to bed
I hear my old girlfriend and the superstars
And it's driving me right out of my head
In the blue city
Candle fires burn bright
Everybody listens while the old man tells 'em why
everything has gone away under the red sky
In the new order under the new moon
animal children hear the old man's tune
everything has gone away under the red sky
Under the red sky
see the eyes of the children
their love is everywhere, everywhere tonight
ohh, listen to the old man cry
songs of warning echo through the night
all we know is what we feel under the red sky
all we know is what we feel under the red sky
Under the red sky
see the eyes of the children
their love is everywhere, everywhere tonight
Cold night down on Mean street
Wet shoes in the telephone stall
I'm trying to explain it
But I don't have the change to make the call
She thinks I'm running 'round with that waitress
The one who still wears those platform shoes
And she's gonna get even so you can see there's really
no more time to lose, and that's why I'm telling you
Telephone lady won't you get my baby, won't you
get my baby on the line. Telephone lady don't
let my baby, don't you let my baby have the last
laugh
She says she's gonna make me sorry
Gonna jump on every joker that she sees
You gotta put me through before she
Man on a rooftop talks to me
He said, "Does anybody down there see what I see? Fill
your glasses with the magic that's around you,
love is everywhere. Love is everywhere.
I stood there all night long,
I stood there all night long, oh yeah, talking to Napoleon
Mon on a rooftop got taken away and the world gets stranger
day by day. So fill your glasses with the magic that surrounds
you, love is everywhere. Love is everywhere.
I stood there all night long,
She's no fun anymore
She's no fun anymore
I can tell that there's something wrong
'cause she's no fun anymore
She walks lightly
They meet nightly
They talk lighly so I don't wake up
And catch her in his arms
She says oh no, you're so wrong
She says oh no, you're so wrong
Suspicion, it's got the best of me
Suspicion, it's got the best of me
She won't rock with me
She won't roll with me
She's been rollin' all night
I can tell by the way she walks
He's a big, big man
He's a big, big man
He's much bigger than me
I can tell by the way she walks
Surf City, here come the sharks
Ah, surfin'
And the sea is under me
I thought surfin' was my life, Surf City
I thought surfin' was my life, Surf City
Surfin's not my ...
Ah, racin'
I can hear my tires scream
Dodge City, here comes the lights
I thought racin' was my life, Dodge City
Racin's not my ... Life
Hey whitey, here comes the spades
Ah, fightin'
There's a dude that I must beat
I thought fightin' was my life, hey whitey
Fightin's not my ...
Surf City, here comes the sharks
Dodge City, here comes the lights
Hey whitey, here comes the spades
Hey whitey, whitey, whitey, whitey
Ah, see me
I conceive it's me that I see
Look pretty, here comes yourself
I thought being was my life, look pretty
Sing songs of Soviet sons
Hear the screaming of the midnight guns
Send your children to America
Where they can live like kings
Sing songs of Soviet sons
Hear the rain and the soldiers run
Send your family to America
Where they can live in peace
Daddy don't you know
It's no different anywhere
Daddy don't you know
We love it here
Daddy you're a fool
If you believe
Those stories of a better world across the sea
Oh, no, we're staying here
We're staying
Sing songs of Soviet sons
Wipe the tears of the frozen ones
Keep your family close to you
And you can live like kings
This place it hides this fear
It makes me glad I'm here
I close my eyes away
From days just like today
This glass of in between
Protects the can't be seen
I pull these blinds away
You pull these blinds away
Chorus
Maybe I can fool everybody tonight
Maybe I can make everybody believe in me
Maybe I can fool everybody
And fool myself if I'm really lucky
Maybe I can fool everybody tonight
These trails in frantic pace
Into the lions face
I stand in cautious wait
A lion at the gate
This dress of in between
Protects the can't be seen
I pull this coat around
Oh really, has it gone that far
Has it gone too far... oh, really
Oh, brother has it really changed
Has it changed that much... have I gone too far.
Chorus:
All my life... I've stepped around
the graying of submission
All my life... I've I've stepped into
the graying of the Avante Garde
Mama, how I wish I was a virgin
Worshipping my ignorance of the world
Mama, how I wish I was a virgin but it's too late now
Should I give it up?
Oh, really am I so aware
Am I that aware oh, really
Oh, brother, do I qualify, have I
Said it right? I'm a clever guy.
I push my Z-28 down I-85
I got a day to see my baby it's a two day drive
Hey hey Mr. DJ
I got a coffee and a rocket workin overtime
And I'm countin on you, man to keep me alive
Hey hey Mr. DJ
Hey hey Mr. DJ won't you play for me all night long
Hey hey Mr. DJ play it all night long
I've been drivin all night, got the radio on
Oh I'm countin on you to keep me goin
Hey hey Mr. DJ
Play me some rock&roll; music and I'll turn it up
Play me some rock&roll; music I can never get enough
When we're dancing on the lawn
Pink flamingos on the lawn
White music in the street
White music in the street
When we're swimming in the pool
Pink flamingo barbeque
White music before dark
White music before dark
Take it like it is
No blues, no beat
Take it like it is
No roots, it's just neat
To play white music in the street
When the band plays at the club
Pink flamingos country club
White music for dessert
White music after work
Take it like it is
No blues, no beat
Take it like it is
No roots, it's just neat
When I grow up I'm gonna buy me a gun
Sit on the porch and shoot someone
Here are your children
See what you have done
Your mother hates you your father ran
You've had a bad time, but they're not to blame
Sometimes I hear, it's up to you
Born in a tunnel, raised in the shade
Your darkened lifestyle is the only one they gave
Sometimes I hear it's up to you
I can hear you
I can hear you crying, but tell me, are you trying?
I saw the flowers
I saw the grave
I saw the animal notes, riddled in pain
You got gold in your mouth
We ain't see no gold since the priests left
You got silver on your wrists
We ain't seen no silver since the airplane crash last year
Chorus
You got blue shining skies we got the sun in our eyes
And we're going blind
We don't want your money we want mine
You got shoes on your feet
We ain't seen no shoes since the soldiers came
You got food in your mouth
And that ain't even funny
Chorus
If we should threaten you we're wasting our time
If we appeal to you we're wasting our time
But if we ask you very nicely please be kind
We don't want your money we want mine
You got lies in your mouth
We don't hear no truth 'til the kids cry
You got smiles to your ears
Going downtown tonight
I got the paycheck cashed and my buddies and me are on fire
Start the weekend off right
I got my car jacked up and the boys are in the back gettin' higher
Oh, we're gonna kick it up, get it for you tonight
Watch out for the working boys
Watch out for the working boys
"Workin' so hard brings us down so we get crazy
when the weekend comes around."
Yes we're going downtown
They might throw us out but they're never gonna slow us down
Tell all your friends to hang around
We're gonna give 'em a show
We're gonna let 'em know we're in town
"We've got dirty nails, we got greasy hair
we don't look for trouble, but it sure as hell doesn't scare us."
Watch out for the working boys
Watch out for the working boys
"We work so hard all week long, you better watch it
when the weekend comes cause we get crazy when the
weekend comes, you better watch us when the weekend
Oh, I could be a hero
I could be a lover of a thousand movie queens
I could be a hero
I could be anything
Caught in the sunrise
And I'm blinded by the light
Caught in the moonrise
And I'm blinded by the night
Chorus:
Fall asleep in the afternoon
How do you know?
Fall asleep in the May of June
How do you, how do you, how do you, how do you know?
How do you know?
Bored in the city
And I'm trampled by the street.
Bored in the country
And I'm trampled by the heat.
Repeat chorus
Bad dreams never stay too long,
They always go away by the break of day.
So, just sleep when things go wrong,
They go away, leave with the day.
Repeat chorus
Sleep is night begins my day
Dreams are real and near is away
I close my mind off from the light
My day is sleep begins by night
All those stories in my head
Come to life atop by bed
I doze my mind off from the light
My day is sleep begins by night
Oh, I could be a hero
I could be a lover of a thousand movie queens
I could be a hero
She's the queen of the submarines
I see her picture in the magazines
I'd like to put her in a situation
Where she can live up to her reputation
She got famous doing tricks underwater
She'll do the scuba till your boat won't go
Skindiver, Skindiver, won't you dive on me,
Won't you dive on me tonight
I see her movies at the All-Nite show
Imagine growing in the front row
I think about her, I dream about her
She's all I need when I'm all alone
Oh how they look when we are walking down the street
I know they wish that they could change places with me
They see my suit they see my blue Mercedes Benz
They see Miss January's more than just a friend
I don't believe them
When they tell me life is more than
Skin, skin, skin, skin, skin, skin deep
I live in Hollywood cause it's my kind of town
I watch the tourists taking pictures of my house
I keep a dozen girls to lie around the pool
I get my kicks from watching other people drool
I don't believe them
When they tell me life is more than
Skin, skin, skin, skin, skin, skin deep
Oh how they look when we are walking down the street
I know they wish that they could change places with me
They try to see my life as shallow and depraved
But any one of them would love to be this way
I don't believe them
When they tell me life is more than
She's a dancer
And she sparkles and she shines.
She's an attractor
Oh, she loves to wine and dine.
They say she's a lady,
But I just don't know
Allright, I like the way she moves
Allright, I like the way she moves
Allright
She's a dancer
And all the boys have fun.
They attract her
And she keeps them on the run.
They say she's a lady,
But I have my doubts.
Allright, I like the way she moves
Allright, I like the way she moves
Allright
When I look into her eyes
I can see through his disguise
Oh, am I surprised.
(repeat)
He's a dancer
And he sparkles and he shines.
He's a attractor
And he loves to wine and dine.
They say he's a lady,
Oh yes I know
Allright, I like the way he moves
Allright, I like the way he moves
Allright, I like the way he moves
There's so many people
Going to the races
They paint on their faces
And smile
They watch the days fly by
And don't even ask why
Meanwhile
The world that surrounds them
Looks whithered and half dead
And even your own head's been there
You feel the depression
And join the procession
Nowhere
As you march in the madness
You crawl with the sadness
That you might not leave the parade
While the drummers are pounding
You hear this astounding voice say:
"Don't fear
Come here
Don't cry
Stand by
There's safety in numbers
And numbers don't lie
Don't lie"
As the troops keep progressing
You notice you've fallen behind
And you're calling in fear
But they're just too caught up
In the way they've been brought up to here
You halt for a minute
And consider this strange voice
Could this be your choice to lead?
You hold the depression
And watch the procession procede
As the stranger gets nearer
His image gets clearer
He calls out and you hear him say
"You've issued a May Day
And May will be home for the day
Don't fear
Come here
Don't cry
Stand by
There's safety in numbers
And numbers don't lie
Don't lie"
To yourself when yourself is
Telling you that you're all
That you have so just listen to
So exit the madness
And enter the gladness
And you will become quite aware
You can end the depression
And join the procession somewhere
"Don't fear
Come here
Don't cry
Stand by
There's safety in numbers
And numbers don't lie
Oh, dad, what will we do?
I got another letter from Ronnie's teacher at school.
She said, it's almost cruel
None of the other kids thinks Ronnie's cool.
The guys think he's a queer because he doesn't drink beer or watch football.
And all the little girls stay away because he's just too fat,
A fat little brat
Chorus:
I guess we need robots for Ronnie
A stainless steel group of chums
Robots for Ronnie
A boy and a girl
Maybe an aluminum cat
Every day he's in his room
He doesn't lock the door because he knows it's really no use
I mean, nobody's even been up there
If Ronnie were to blow up, I don't think anyone would care
He doesn't brush his teeth because he never talks to no one.
He doesn't wipe his feet because he's never coming in.
Comin in?
Repeat chorus
We can talk about the old days,
With parties and dances and leads in class plays;
But all of the memories he'll have
Are plugging in a friend and shining up a cat.
Oh, Mama, baby's a queen in her costumes and cars
Oh, Mama, baby's a sweetie at the fashion show bars
Hey, baby, the lady's a woman and the woman's a child
Oh, Mama, the child's a toy, and the toy has gone wild
Chorus:
And she's over, I mean she thinks she is
And she's over, I mean she looks like she is
And she's over, I mean she still hasn't found her mind, baby
Her mind baby
Oh, Mama, she lives in a house with no lock on the door
Oh, Mama, there's no one upstairs, but there's a great bottom floor
Hey, baby, you throw her a look and she'll comfort your day
Oh, Mama, you throw her a book and she'll throw it away
Repeat chorus
Mind baby
Mind baby
Mind baby
When it's cold outside I like to sleep with a blanket on my ass
I don't want to hear the wind blow ... I don't want my face to chap
but way up here in the Northwest are some guys who got no choice,
they got to ride through blizzards when there's trouble in the forest.
And you can hear them singin ... Let's lift our hearts up let's let
our hair down.. Rangers At Midnight cleaning out the town ... Rangers
At Midnight cleaning out the town
If a big brown bear should run away ... they got to find him and cut
him down. if a man in a velvet suit is seen they got to run him out
of town. When the FBI are in trouble up North well, they know just
who to call... a mounted guy at 4'5" still looks mighty tall and you
can hear them singin. Let's lift our hearts up let's let our hair down...
Rangers At Midnight cleaning out the town...
Rangers At Midnight cleaning out the town...
"Well we're the best darn guys that ever rode the North
I like to ride in the snow with my rifle and my horse
Well, I'm a mounty now and I'm only 21
but I'm the King of the North and I'm really having fun."
Scene II "Night Patrol"
The cold northwestern wind, blows ice against my cheek
while riding night patrol ... I think of you
You left me for the last time ... you've shut yourself
from me ... but now I've made it so I can't get back to you
I'm a mounted man for life
So don't you try to write me, or call me on the phone
I've finally found a place where I can hide from you
I'm a mounted man for life
Scene III "Let's Lift Our Hearts Up" (Finale)
Let's life our hearts up
Let's let our hair down --
Rangers At Midnight cleaning out the town...
Rangers At Midnight cleaning out the town...
You're semi-macho till the sun goes down
Just like the Wolfman you want to stay around
The pressure builds with every drop off the chart you take
You'd like to stop but you've only just started to make it
Your doctor says that you've got to give it up
Your wife she says that she's had about enough
Turn up the music cause you're loosing the words
Turn up the bottle cause you're loosing your nerve
YOU'RE IN POPTOWN HONEY
YOU'RE IN POPTOWN HONEY
YOU'RE IN POPTOWN HONEY
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON YOU
The papers say you're sounding better than ever
you'd like to tell someone but they've all left ya
It doesn't matter cause you're back on top
And now you swear that you'll never ever drop again
You got to hide your soul away
Put it in the woods save it for the grave
You can't expose yourself that way
Put it under lock, lock it from the pain
You don't owe a thing, you don't have to pay
You don't owe a thing, you can't pay
You got to rule your own ball game
Follow what you know and throw the rest away
You can't be led around by your fear
Feed it to the vultures, there's a lot of them out there.
You don't owe a thing, you don't have to pay
You don't owe a thing, you can't pay
Play on, you don't owe a thing
Something's wrong from the moon, my friends
Something's wrong from the moon
As I look down at you my friends
Something's wrong from the moon
Poor little man
You been run down
Poor little man
You're all run down
I can see right through your eyes
I can see right through your weary eyes
I can hear right through your cries
I can hear right through your drunken cries
When they spit, do you wash their floors
And pray that they don't spit no more
Or, rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
In the dark you cannot see
In the dark the victory is fear
Like a fool you follow fools
Like a fool you follow what you hear
Will they blow us all apart
Or kill us all with virus darts
Or, rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
On the moon they're laughing hard
On the moon they're falling off their seats
From the moon we're comedy
From the moon we're really quite a treat
Shall we have another beer
And slobber through another year
Or rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up children, life goes on and on
Rise up children, life goes on and on
Wise up
Something's wrong from the moon my friend
Something's wrong from the moon
As I look down at you my friends
I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I love
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
Still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey, I thought I was smart
I won her heart
Didn't think I'd do
But now I see
She's worse to him than me
Let her go ahead
And take his love instead
Then one day she will see
Just how to say please
And get down on her knee
Yeah, that's how they begin
She'll feel those needles and pins are hurtin' her, hurtin' her
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong?
I'm wrong so wrong
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong?
Oh, because I saw her today
I saw her face
It was a face I love
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away
Still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins
Needles and pins

Here's Mr White, he's an executive
Here's Mrs White, she's an executive
Just like him
They drive a white Seville with bullet-proof glass
So they don't get killed when they're
Buying their cocain
Stuffing it up their noses
Showing their children why we're
Chorus:
Lost In America, lost In America
Living in circles like we're dreaming
Here's Capt'n Tom, he's with the CIA
He keeps us safe and sound from foreign enemy
He sells them guns and bombs and secret plans
So they can run when he finally gets caught
Living in Mexico
Writing a book about how we're
Chorus
Here's Jimmy-Jeff-Bob, he's with the NRA
He likes to keep his guns around the house
Just in case
Sundays he visits his son who's doing time for
Shooting someone
And we quietly stand by
Thoughtfully close our eyes
Fall on our knees and cry that we're
I can't get to her
You don't know what I'm going through
She says I keep her satisfied but I know she's got her eye on you
I can't get to her
And it's driving me down
When I hold her close at night
She seems to be some other place
When I look into her eyes man I can almost see your face
She's on fire, burning for you
I can see it when she's lookin at me
I'm gonna lose that girl
I'm gonna lose that girl
I can't get to her
No matter what I try to do
She keeps telling me there's nothing wrong but I can see
the way she looks at you
You're gonna take her
Away from me
Now I would ask you not to do it but you see I understand
I was feeling just like you are
I see you sittin' there with nothin' on
But the T.V. set and a glass of somethin'
I think the rain has stopped but you don't care
You just sit and stare away
Old man you know it happens every day
People come and people go
I'd like to know just what you think she'd say
If she saw you now
Man I swear these are
Chorus:
Long nights
Long nights
Long nights alone
Long nights
Long nights
Long nights at home
I know you feel that you've been cheated, Dad
I can feel it too, I can feel for you
If I were crazy I would take your life
So you could go up there and join your wife
Old man you know it happens every day
People come and people go
Don't you hear me what I'm tryin' to say is
I'll take care of you
Man I know that these are
I'm living with the lights on
I'm gonna keep my house warm
I'm gonna drive a big car
All around the town
I'm living with the lights on
I'm living with the lights on
I'm gonna smoke my cigarettes
Don't care about the big jets
I'm gonna fill my big car up
With gas, gas, gas, gas, gas
I'm living with the lights on
I'm living with the lights on
I'm talking with the Russians
I'm gonna make all the friends I can
I'm gonna have a good time
I sleep in a pyramid
And I visit a shrink
A bum in a cave
Said he thought I could think
I eat what I am
And I'm not overdressed
I can't understand
Why I'm sometimes depressed
Chorus:
Lighten up McGraw
You're efforts of lead
All those words in your head
Lighten up McGraw
You're a helium brain
Jog a mile in the rain
Best of luck
Come again
My lady does yoga
My lady does me
And I do my lady
Whenever I'm free
I covered my bases
I checked everything once
I haven't giggled
In thirty-five months
We chatted, oh so nicely ... as we sipped our French cafe'
On an olde English table in the good olde USA
The martians were landing on a statue in the bay
But I didn't get a chance to watch the news today
Chorus:
Oh, yes we're being invaded
I really don't know why
But I can see it in the sky
Oh, yes we're being invaded
I really do not care
It might be better over there
I ask you, now, who knows?
I tried to phone up mommy but the lines were all tied up
So I wrote a short letter that I thought was quite enough
They started coming toward me and I waved a short, "Hello"
When the summer night has changed its warmer breezes to the icy cold of silent winter freezes, will you be there?
When the flowers in the windows of the neighbors start to bow their frozen heads and to leave us, will I see you there?
Chorus:
Will you stand by me against the cold night,
Or are you afraid of the ice?
Afraid of the ice?
Ice.
When the waters of the roaring ocean bring a chilling feeling and the beach is closing, are you near me?
When the cloudy skies are blocking out the sun and suddenly your nose has begun to run, do you still hear me?
Repeat chorus
Will you stand by me against the cold
Will you stand by me against the cold
Will you stand by me against the cold
Don't tell your mother I'm here
Don't tell your mother I'm here
Don't tell your mother I'm here tonight
She thinks I'm like all the rest
She thinks I'm gonna take you downstairs and get the best of you
Don't tell your father I'm here tonight
He doesn't like me too much
He thinks I'm gonna get away with a little too much of you
But it's all right
Parents are all alike
They want an All American Boy
An All American Boy
Someone they can trust with their All American Girl
I think that they know that I'm here with you
Your daddy's coming downstairs
He's gonna tell me to stay very far away from you
It doesn't matter what you tell them now
I've seen this happen before
Take a ride to the other side of the town
Your eyes are open wide, look around
And find out where you're going
Social lady is a lawnchair wife,
With a new hairstyle, and a different life
Sleeps alone in her bed at night.
Chorus:
I don't have a tie
To wear to your affair
I don't have a tie to wear.
I don't have a tie
To wear to your affair
I don't have a tie to wear.
Take a ride to the other side of the town
Your eyes are open wide, look around
And find out where you're going
Heavy Mary has to dance alone
Till her weekend man comes to take her home
Mary's ready, but she has to say no.
Repeat chorus
Oh, play children
Play the game for free
Oh, play children
Play the game for free
Take a ride to the other side of the town
Your eyes are open wide, look around
And find out where you're going
Give a hand to your favorite son
When he tries to walk and you make him run,
Run son
Cindy I don't want to catch you in his car
Cindy you don't have to play with me no more
All the boys are telling stories about you
I don't want to hear no stories about you
Cindy you don't have to run around any more
Cindy you don't have to prove to me that you can score
When you dance with the boys in the street
Can't you see that it's tearing me apart
Hot Razors in my Heart
Heart Hot Razors in my Heart
Cindy you don't have to make me crawl no more
We can make it better than it was before
Tell the boys you belong to me
Tell them anything but stop this bleeding in my heart
Hot Razors in my Heart
Well, I was talking to a mirror image of what supposedly was to be me; and
the eyes and the nose and the insignificant clothes supported the testimony. He said, "You're doing fine, you know.
You've got an okay mind, you know.
And I would hate to see you throw it away.
You'd better hold on.
Hold on. Hold on."
I was telling him I was a bit fatigued about my life, both present and past;
and when I recalled my thoughts of ending it all with an overdose of gas, He said, "You're doing fine, you know.
You've got an okay mind, you know.
And I would hate to see you throw it away.
You'd better hold on.
Hold on. Hold on."
Hold on
Hold on
Diners and discos
Action every night
Where do the time go
Slowly, slowly out of sight
There's a tear in my brain
And it's startin' to rain
And I don't know what to do
Give my soul to the man
My love to the clan
Or give myself to you
That's what I'll do
Yesterday's heroes
Shrinking back to size
Never went nowhere
Sadness, sadness fills their eyes
There's a tear in my brain
And it's startin' to rain
And I don't know what to do
Give my soul to the man
My love to the clan
Or give myself to you
That's what I'll do
You've been runnin' scared
From the chance that was there for you
Changing's very hard
With your house and your yard
Well it's harder than hard
Too many players
Sittin' out their lives
Staring not caring
Who fails, who sails, who survives
There's a tear in my brain
And it's startin' to rain
And I don't know what to do
Give my soul to the man
My love to the clan
Or give myself to you
That's what I'll do
I wanna give myself to you
Give myself to you
Standing room only at L.A.X.
I trade my ticket for some cigarettes
I won't believe it till they dissapear [sic]
The president's hiding on a submarine
See how he runs away from history
I won't believe it till they dissapear [sic]
I won't believe it till I dissapear [sic]
Chorus:
After all we've been through
Doesn't it seem a little funny to you
We should all shine from the violet blue
And now we're calling you
From the greenhouse
All of the warriers have gone away
I sit and watch the sky, waiting for the rain
I won't believe it till I dissapear [sic]
I won't believe it till I dissapear [sic]
I won't believe you till I dissapear [sic]
She was a true loser
And he was nothing more
They met one another
She showed him her x-rays
He turned on his flashlight of love
She showed him her x-rays
He turned on his flashlight of love
She loved reading Cosmo
He liked to wax his van
They moved in together
She showed him her x-rays
He turned on his flashlight of love
She showed him her x-rays
He turned on his flashlight of love
She said it was over
So he found something new
They left one another
She showing her x-rays
He glowing his flashlight of love
She showing her x-rays
He glowing his flashlight of love
She showing her x-rays
Breakdown ... Life isn't easy
Everyone pushing so hard
I hear them laughing
I can see the red line
Now I'm on the red line
Breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown
Breakdown ... cold sweat in the middle of the night
Breakdown ... I'm so confused
Why are they pushing so hard?
Why are they laughing?
I can see the red line
Now I'm on the red line
Breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown
I'm okay ... a little love and it all goes away
Shine on backwards oh, masters of my fate
Tell me great ones just how I rate
Should I bow my head or scream your holy names
Tell me dear ones am I still in the game?
Shine on up down to you dear lords I pray
Give me answers and happiness today
Should I dress in white or wear thee around my neck
Tell me great ones just how to write the check
To pay for my sins and keep my lords in animal skins
Your golden bombs go off
Your military struts its stuff
You buy and sell and waiting for the big one
Tales that the money's gone
Keep 'em ignorant and stripped of song
Feed the fire, Peace remains the thin one
Oh no, you'll see they'll be crying in your streets
When the Dancer, the Teacher, the Writer ... all fly away
the Players, the Painters
I see you black and white
Computerized and very right
Guns on every door and every window
You're the picture of security
Keep 'em ignorant and you're worry free
God, save the captain, he's got a wife at home
And quite a few children, you can't let them live alone
Oh, I'll go down yelling or quiet if you like
But please save the captain, you see, I've got no wife waiting for me
God, save the admiral, he's got the mind to lead
And the country needs him, she's got more ships to fleet
Oh, I'll go down yelling or quiet if you like
But please spare the admiral, you see, I've got no lives to lead to the sea
DON'T TRY TO TELL ME WHO TO SAVE OR KILL
I'VE GOT MY OWN MIND, YOU KNOW
AND I'LL DO WHAT I WILL
I'LL DO WHAT I WILL
YOU KNOW, I WILL!
I'LL KILL THE CAPTAIN IF IT'S HIS TIME, MY BOY
I'LL TAKE THE ADMIRAL TOO, AND IF YOU'RE NOT COOL
I'LL TAKE YOU.
I'm sorry, Lord, you know what's best, but please would you at least spare the cook?
I'm very hungry, and by the looks of this ship
I'm gonna starve!
I'm gonna starve!
Well the ship went down
To the bottom of the sea
And the only ones left
Were the fat cook and me
So I looked to the sky with a smile
In my eye
Caught a glimpse of the Dude
And started singing
I'm sorry Lord that I doubted you
Oh, babe you really came through
And I thank you, I thank you!!
I thank you
A night on the town with you
We'll start with dinner here
It's tacos for two
A little candlelight
and a lot of cheer
I'll help you clean this mess up
Then we're out of here
Gee, you look swell
and I like your cologne
and it's such a nice night
I'm glad we're alone
How 'bout a movie,
A drink or a dance
My money's kinda low,
but I'm high on romance
Chorus
And I knew you'd be the kind of girl
I'd love to spend my time with
From the minute that we met
I think we knew
That nothing could be better than
The time we spend together
And as long as it's forever,
there'll be plenty to do
Let's catch a subway
Get off at Times Square
We'll stop by Sardi's,
The stars all eat there
And if we see some
They'll see us too
and if we don't, let's just say we did
Who'll know it's not true?
Chorus
Oh I'd love to take you dancing
At the Copa or Regine's
Or maybe spend an evening at the Ritz
But the work's been kinda lousy
And I don't have a tie
So let's just keep romancin'
While the night flies by
What do you say now
Shall we head on back
Or just keep strollin
And stop for a snack
We can dunk some donuts
Or catch the late show
'Cause it's our night on the town
Gee, how quickly it goes
Sometimes at night I close my eyes and wish, Sometimes I wonder if I'd ever been missed if you came for me, If you came for me. I've never asked you for a whole lot of things, I've never begged you for the riches of kings, But I've one request and I hold it up to you...
Come on and crack the sky for me, Come on and crack the sky and take me home, Take me home, Come on and crack the sky for me, Come on and crack the sky and take me home, Take me home tonight.
I know you've got me where you want me to be, I know you've got a plan to use in me but I long for you, I long for you. So, now I'll work until you're ready for me, I don't know if I can guarantee that I'll never cry, never try to get to you.
Come on and crack the sky for me, Come on and crack the sky and take me home, Take me home, Come on and crack the sky for me, Come on and crack the sky and take me home, Take me home tonight.
