If you're waiting for your wings but you just got legs
And you're feeding all your chickens but they won't lay eggs
When you open up your drawers and see your janky clothes
Just remember life's in love with you but let's suppose
That God ain't gonna drop you no hundred dollar bill
You're got to question your intentions
'Cause the bad ones kill
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing
When your exit sign is coming could be 'round any bend
Now did you live your life proper did you just pretend
That you knew what you were talking about
Which side was your fence
When the hammer comes down it never makes no sense
Chaos is not a virtue, paranoia loads the bases
Just imagine giant rivers overflowing with their faces
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing
What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?
What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?
What is it that you want?
What is it that you give?
Where do you plan on finding it?
How do you want to live?
Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm gonna live
Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm gonna live
Love is what I want
Love is what I give
Right here's where I'm finding it
That's how I'm gonna live
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Hello (hello)
Hello (hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can here me
Is there anybody home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax...
I need some information.. first (first)
Relax..
Just don't face the facts
Can you show me where it hurts
There is no pain you were receding
A distant ship floats on the horizon
You're only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear watcha saying
When I was a child I caught a fever
My hands swelled like two balloons
Now i've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This isn't how I am
I have become comfortably numb
Ok (ok)
It's just a little pin-prick
There'll be no more Hiiiiiiiiiii
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up now
I do believe It's working
(uh huh) (uh huh)
Gotta keep it going through the show
C'mon it's time to go
There is no pain you were receding
A distant ship floats on the horizon
You're only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear watcha saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
To get up on my feet but ohh the child has grown
The dream is gone
I..i..i've been Com-com-fortably Numb
She's quiet when shes down
Strangers from other towns
Nowhere to be found
On this side of the scene
Would you like a cigarette,
Or my hand upon your shoulder?
I think we might have met
Would you like me to come over?
There's lovers in the backseat
Jealous glances now I'm looking for another song
On the radio
I'll take you to a side street
In the shadows you can touch one another now
And I'll just watch the show
She's happy when she's proud
Attention well deserved
Exuberant and loud
A disguise can he know?
How much she needs him now
There's static on the sidelines
Can you read my thoughts?
Maybe its the right time
There's lovers in the backseat
Jealous glances now I'm looking for another song
On the radio
I'll take you to a side street
In the shadows you can touch one another now
You say you see what's under me
That the gloss has washed away
But you're the one whose colour's gone
From love to dirty grey
Questions come alive in the middle of the day
Over and over again
Watch me start a fire in the middle of your shade
That's why I'm telling you I'm gonna
Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
It's why I ain't just kissin' you I'm kissin' you off
Spare this child your sideways smile
That crack in your veneer
Some blue broad will spoil your rod
It just takes patience dear
They rush you for your life
But you'll never beat the game
Older and older you get
Cruch you like gyre
But the gimble's all the same
Oh no I think it's happening
Kiss you off my lips
I don't need another tube of that dime store lipstick
Well I think I'm gonna buy me a brand new shade of man
Kiss you off my lips
It's standing room only for a piece of my pigment
So excuse me a minute while I supply demand
Kiss you off these lips of mine
Kiss you off for a custom shine
Pissed yours truly off this time
Sailling through the tunnels
In the morning by yourself
There's a very special feeling
True sensation all is well
If you stand and reach your arms out wide
Close your eyes and try to fly
It's an underground illusion
Tricking you from side to side
We knew all the answers
And we shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious
That God knew how much we cheated
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life
Waiting for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated
Skyscrapers rise between us
Keeping me from finding you
If the concrete architecture
Dissapeared there'd be so few
Of us left to navigate and
Defend ourselves from the tide
It's an underground illusion
Tricking you from side to side
There's no indication of
What we were meant to be
Sucking up to strangers
Throwing wishes to the sea
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life
Waiting for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and
When you're walkin' down the street
And a man tries to get your business
And the people that you meet
Wanna open you up like Christmas
You gotta wrap your fuzzy with a big red bow
Ain't no some bitch gonna treat me like a ho
I'm a classy honey kissy huggy lovey dovey ghetto princess
[Chorus:]
Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, cause you're nasty
When you're runnin' from a trick
And you trip on a hit of acid
You gotta work for the man
But your biggest moneymakers' flaccid
You gotta keep your shit together
With your feet on the ground
There ain't no one gonna listen
If you haven't made a sound
You're an acid junkie college flunky dirty puppy daddy bastard
Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous
Cause you're filthy Oooh, and I'm gorgeous
You're disgusting Oooh, and you're nasty
And you can grab me oooh, 'cause you're nasty
Cause you're filthy, oooh, and I'm gorgeous
Cause you're filthy, oooh, and I'm gorgeous
You're disgusting, and you're nasty
And you can grab me, oooh, cause you're nasty
And when you get tired
Of holding me tight
Remember it's how I stay alive
When we come down
Off our high for the night
You don't let go
And if you're feeling too close
Then we're doing all right
Got you under my clothes
Take you out tonight
Take you out tonight
You're so skin tight
You're never close enough
You're so skin tight
Wrap me in your love
So skin tight
Nothing else sliding
Between you and me
What's symbiotic will always be
Surrounding each other for eternity
And we won't let go
So it gets a little hot
But the temperature's right
I'll take everything you got
Cause you're always in my sight
Yeah you're always in my sight
You're so skin tight
You're never close enough
You're so skin tight
Wrap me in your love
So skin tight
Anything less
And you'd be
Too far away
I can't peel it back
can't peel it back
can't peel it back
Cause your skin tight
Fit me like a glove
Skin tight
This town was built on muddy stilts
By the lunatic parade
It rains like Revelations
Gonna wash these freaks away
Some girls wanna hold your hand
And some girls like to pray
Well my girl takes her drinks
With dust and rusty razor blades
As I lie between these covers
I wanna tell her that I love it
When she chokes me in the
Backseat of her riverboat 'cause
She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that big meat
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
Someday soon, this dank lagoon's
Gonna sink right into hell
They'll hide you from Big Ida
At the Sho' Enough Hotel
The Ladies of the evening's just
A tombstone in your bed
Well my girl eats a wounded preacher
'tween two loaves of bread
I know she's up to something
But how can I run when she's just
Keel-hauled twenty-on to nothing
I'll stay next to the steel coal oven 'cause
She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that big meat
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
All you need's just a fist of a tear-stained bunny
When the good ship comes to town
Who said loves a bitch'll sit next to me honey
Because this old boat's gonna run aground
I don't want to be the burden
Or your jealous bastard
I don't wanna be the Tarzan of your next epic disaster
She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that big meat
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
She's my man, can't you feel her comin'
She's my man, she's gonna keep you runnin'
She's my man, she's gonna teach you something
Self control
Self control
I can always watch you
Breathing in your sleep
And all I ever wanted was for you to wait for me
It's hard to take it easy
When you're not satisfied
A little death is better with
Somebody at your side
You need to
Self control
Gonna teach you
Self control
Just keep staring at the ceiling
Got to learn to fight the feeling
Don't let go
No no
Of your self control
Self control
Just pretend you're standing
High up on this ledge
Be sure not to look down if you're close to the edge
Tell me are you listening
Stay within my voice
Ain't no rush
Just feel the push
Cause you don't have much choice
You need to
Self control
Gonna teach you
Self control
Just keep staring at the ceiling
Got to learn to fight the feeling
Don't let go
No no
Of your self control
Self control
Who has to know [x8]
Gonna teach you
Self control
Gonna teach you
Self control
Just keep staring at the ceiling
Got to learn to fight the feeling
Don't let go
No no
Of your self control
Self control

Laura, can't you give me some time?
I've got to give myself one more chance
To be the man that i know i am
To be the man that i know i am
Won't you just tell Cincinnati? I'm gonna need your love don't you give your love Dont you give me your LOVE
sh'mon, sh'mon
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love Don't you give me your sh'mon, sh'mon
Where is your love?
Dont you give me your love Dont you give me your
Freida, can't you spare me a dime?
I've got to give myself one more chance
To ring the band that i know im in
To ring the band that i know im in
Won't you just tell Babby Daddy?
I'm gonna need his love
Why dont he give me he love?
Why dont he give me he
sh'mon, sh'mon
Where is your love?
Don't you give me your love
Don't you give me your sh'mon, sh'mon
Where is your love? Don't you give me your love
Don't you give me your
This'll be the last time i ever do your hair
Tired of this s**t swear im gonna quit
Can't seem to make enough dough
But my cuttin's on a roll
One face amodng the many
I never thought you cared
Seen enough stuff though i got rough
Now i know it ain't so
No pussyfootin' or that look of surprise
Can't hide the holes in your eyes or cover up that bitter smile
All the birds can see that you're heading south
That mirror deep in your mouth reflects you running on for miles
When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed
Nobody's callin' that payphone in your mind
I wonder just what they find but that line's busy all the time
I ain't got nothing by your seed on my face
You'll put them babies to waste without your finger in the pie
When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed
My mama told me one thing I'll remember till I die
The one you want the most will be the one that you defy
The times they're gonna love you
Like stitches in the scar
You can never run from trouble
'Cause there ain't no place that far
When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
Tell me what does it mean to be faithful
Is a heart only made for beats
Just another word for painful
So I try to slow down, the brake's broken
There's no way to jump out of here
All these conversations unspoken
So I keep searching
For everything I'll ever be
Never seem to learn
What I can hardly ever see
This is my life, this is my dream
This is my belief, it's my fantasy
I still haven't found what's gonna set me free
This is my year of living dangerously
Now I can't turn around
What's done is done
There are words that you can't take back
When you say them to someone
(What's done is done, what's done is done)
Now you sound like a Redwood falling
With nobody around to hear,
I'm out of here you're stalling
When I'm standing on the freeway
With my hair blowing in the wind
Maybe one day soon I'll make it
Where I've never been
This is my life, this is my dream
This is my belief, it's my fantasy
I still haven't found what's gonna set me free
This is my year of living dangerously
This is my time, just let me be
This is my design, it comes naturally
I still gotta find what's gonna set me free
This is my year of living dangerously
Ain't gonna stop for nobody, no one
Ain't slowing down and it's not my problem now
Ain't nothing left you can sell me, tell me
I've done my best, aw feet don't fail me now
This is my life, this is my dream
This is my belief, it's my fantasy
I still haven't found what's gonna set me free
This is my year of living dangerously
This is my time, just let me be
This is my design, it comes naturally
I still gotta find what's gonna set me free
I gave passes to the boarder, gave my bags straight to the porter
Gave my Zippo as a guiding light
I see smoke upon the water, said the sailor to the daughter
Well I think I need a rubber tonight
And with everybody watching from the top of the sky
A neon bolt of lightening hit me where I found my stride
I found a whole new way to love you
I've got a big surprise
I can't see your eyes but I think you'll like it too
I found a whole new way to love you
My sneak up from behind is gonna blow your mind
But if not this time, we're through
It gets lonesome in the darkness even when I dance with partners
With the DJ playing Leather and Lace
I'll take anything you give me 'cause I know that God forgives me
It's no accident expensive taste
So when everyone got home I got your tail between my legs
We can talk about relationships but there's better things to fill your head with
I found a whole new way to love you
I've got a big surprise
I can't see your eyes but I think you'll like it too
I found a whole new way to love you
My sneak up from behind is gonna blow your mind
But if not this time, we're through
Love and leave it, you take it when you need it
You gotta give and take, ignores the breaks
And baby, they're are not enough ways
You gotta gimme some, get some
Ooh, I found a whole new way to love you
Ooooooh I've found a whole new way to love you
Ooooooh I've found a whole new way to love you
I found a whole new way to love you
I've got a big surprise
I can't see your eyes but I think you'll like it too
I found a whole new way to love you
My sneak up from behind is gonna blow your mind
Creamsicle sky while the sun sets up in the west
Where are the queers on the piers, heard they gave it their best
Now they got jobs at a local fast food chain
Flippin' tricks for the burger, since Lady M jacked their fame
Flippin' tricks for the burger, since Lady M jacked their fame
You can't see tits on the radio
I'll give you five fingers for a one man show
Fasten those pants for the lap dance
Take a shot now this may be your last chance
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (No no)
Dark room Danny can't see with the lights turned out
Black haired tranny counts sheep with her bed turned down
But the bed's in Jersey and the sheep's on a farm
Dark room Danny hears police alarm
Dark room Danny can't see with the lights turned out
Dark room Danny can't see with the lights turned out
You can't see tits on the radio
I'll give you five fingers for a one man show
Fasten those pants for the lap dance
Take a shot now this may be your last chance
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
There ain't no tits on the radio (Oh no)
What is the full speed of language
When there is nothing to say
What’s in the air
There must be something there
But it’s not in service today
Sometimes the neighbors complain
The phone speaks another’s full name
It’s the secret life of letters
The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken
I haven’t heard
How many days in a sentence
I feel like passing this phrase
These aren’t my friends
Maybe they’ll be again
Arranging themselves in their ways
I’ve got to pick up the paper
She says I’m glad it’s not raining
It’s the secret life of letters
The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken
I haven’t heard
I haven’t heard
What will one day
Become of us
We'll grow as grass under their feet
No one here will ever know your name
And you still lie here next to me
If it takes another life
I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me
As good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I
Wait for you
On the other side
Good luck and I will see you through
Get used to this
You're going to be alright
The world goes on with or without me
If I don't ever leave a thing behind
I'll still leave you without me
If it takes another life
I'll wait for you
On the other side
Everything that comes to me
As good
Belongs to you
I'll count our blessings as I
Wait for you
On the other side
When you grow up
Livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama
Takes a shine to her best son
Something different
All the girls they seem to like you
Cause you're handsome
Like to talk and a whole lot of fun
But now your girl's gone a missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said
Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut
Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing oh the best we can
We're gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'cause baby you're a full grown man
It's a struggle
Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer
Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama
Heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you
That all she'd wanna do is cry
Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
All the jagged lives
All the dotted eyes
Tiny like a white lie
Takes someone to know
Takes someone who cares
That's the way I believe
Like a neon prayer
Straight line to heaven
Are you there?
Extraordinary lives
Keep crashing and tumbling by
Somewhere there's a sky for only me
Diamonds in disguise
Hiding like forgotten days
All these tears of mine will fly away
I can see for miles
I can sleep for days
Everything you save me
Only someone to hold
You're only someone to share
To see the things that you miss
Remember when you're scared
Straight like a Christian
I'll be there
Extraordinary lives
Keep crashing and tumbling by
Somewhere there's a sky for only me
Diamonds in disguise
Hiding like forgotten days
All these tears of mine will fly away
We're only turning around
Oh why
Turning ourself around
We're only turning around
Oh why
Turning our love around
We're only turning around
Oh why
Turning yourself around
We're only turning around
Oh why
Turning my love around
Extraordinary life
Tumbling by
Somewhere there's a sky for only me
Diamonds in disguise
Hiding like forgotten days
I just need to hear that song again
Oh there I was standing all alone
When you came dancing
Very very near me
Why'd you have to go and disappear?
And if they play that song maybe
You'll come dancing back to me
I can't remember any words
There's a verse and after it goes
Something like this(goes)
Something like this(goes)
Over and over like a robot you go
No I don't feel like going home
Oh, there's no chance
I'm leaving here solo
How will I ever find
A way to track you down?
The floor is where I'll stay and
Ask somebody if they see
Someone shaking tambourines
Two feet that never touch the ground
searching til I've found your moves go
Something like this(goes)
Something like this(goes)
Over and over like a robot you go
I'm so lonely I could die
I've got someone like you in mind
Oh to love me 'stead of passing by
When my heart beats it goes
Something like this(goes)
Something like this(goes)
You got my good good lovinâ€Â™ within your grasp
Donâ€Â™t let it throw you

And keep scratch scratchinâ€Â™ at my back door.

But if you get it right,
Get it right.

Get it right, get it right.
Iâ€Â™ll love you til my ninth life.

Why so tough
You see me running, but you can't keep up
So let me slow down for you
Baby what, say what you're looking for
I can get young, get young
I was walking and talking about this ...
I met out in Boston
I didn't see very often, but mmm huh, mmm huh
She gon' vote for obama, and she likes to dance with madonna
Chopstick, back benihanas, so mmm huh, mmm huh
We gon' hop on this hooty, and she'll take me out to the movies
Let me feel all of her boob-es, so mmm huh, mmm huh
Now she's touching my booty, and she's rolling all my beauty
I forget to get to my duties, so mmm huh, mmm huh
Shady love, shady love, shady love...
I'm gonna get my shady love
I'm gonna get my shady love
Shady love, shady love
I'm gonna get my, i'm gonna get my, i'm gonna get my shady love
I'm gonna get my shady love
Shady love, shady love
I'm gonna, i'm gonna , i'm gonna
One doctor shows up on top with the chick's got con
Get your man, cause he own my fly
We fly cause the nips don't slip
When the victim flips and dead from the beat don't stop
My tease, your tease, he sneeze
I pop, I cork, he gets phased, and desert cheat
Got stack, got chips, got cheat
Would you double up, double up
Baby come circular, and let your cue
What you know 'bout the babado
Why so tough
You see me running, but you can't keep up
So let me slow down for you
Baby what, say what you're looking for
I can get young, get young
Shady love, shady love, shady love...
Shady love, shady love, shady love...
Why so tough
You see me running, but you can't keep up
So let me slow down for you
Baby what, say what you're looking for
Oh, I need a witness to see the mess I've made
There's a broken lampshade, ashtrays, burnt floors, beds unmade
Eyes sleeping if you are dream, dream of what I'm doing
To you, undo you, I'm through with you until I need a round of
Everytime I spend myself it never runs too low, woah
I can't escape my need for
Sex and violence
Never meant you see them hand in hand
One is just the other
The softest touches, deeper than the ocean
Give it to me faster, feel it, feel it
Sex and violence
Who is gonna make you cry?
(Sex and violence)
Oh, I was a real man stealing all the trade
I was strong and self-made, well-paid, so groomed, persuasive
You were walking home that night, too kind to be illusive
Where do you live? What do you give? Who are you with?
And how you getting home?
Does everybody know right now exactly where you are? Woah
Step inside's a step too far but
Sex and violence
Hit me with a lover, burns so bright
And one is just the other
Sweetest tastes, never gonna leave you
Even when it hurts you, breathe it, breathe it
Sex and violence
Who is gonna make you cry?
(Sex and violence)
Sex and violence
Who is gonna make you cry?
(Sex and violence)
Violence, violence (3x)
Sex and violence
Never meant you see them hand in hand
One is just the other
The softest touches, deeper than the ocean
Give it to me faster, feel it, feel it
Sex and violence
Hit me with a lover, burns so bright
And one is just the other
Sweetest tastes, never gonna leave you
Even when it hurts you, breathe it, breathe it
Well she left me here halfway
Between the bright lights of Los Angeles
And the tawdry nights of San Jose
With Ecstacy and Ivory Wave
And a backpack full of Captain Jack
To take me to an early grave
And I've never been to paradise
Standing on this corner by myself
You don't have to tell me twice
And the world's not gonna end
If I could just pretend
That here's a place to go
San Luis Obispo
And the streets may look the same
Of any town by any name
Gonna find my afterglow
San Luis Obispo
The difference between delight
And loneliness could be a one way flight
In these San Luis Obispo nights
Where no one seems to mind
If you string your words together with
Kool cigarettes and sparkling wine
Keep the conversation light
Wait until the girls get under-dressed
And then the talk gets less polite
And I could stay here all my days
But will I spend my life deciding if
Happiness is just a phase
And I hope that I'm not wrong
Maybe here's where I belong
Every winter free of snow
San Luis Obispo
But if she's coming back again
I would flee but until then
Every day my love it grows
San Luis Obispo
The difference between delight
And loneliness is never black or white
In these San Luis Obispo nights
Sorry you misunderstood
This kid with his intentions good
When all I had was two feet left to stand
And if you're coming back through town
Put your ear down to the ground
Cause this boy's voice has changed into a man's
And I hope that I'm not wrong
Baby here's where I belong
Every winter free of snow
San Luis Obispo
But if she's coming back again
I would flee but until then
Every day my love it grows
San Luis Obispo
The difference between delight
And loneliness could be a one way flight
1 2 3 4 gimme more cause i think were going down

i'm on my own not used to no one else
cause everytime i think im fine you keep on dreaming of
a hundred different ways to cause hysteria
am i insane am i blind i just cant seem to trust
too many regulations coming back at you
were running out of money, of love, of luck
were running out of language of fame of bread
were running out
something tells me that im fine but when i get enough
another one...wouldn't be too much
but still i chew it up and spit it out it's too big to swallow
gotta enough for everyone so here we go ooh
lets see how far that we have run before this gig is over
i hear the warning signs on everybodys stereo
do you love what you like or would you do for more?
you keep on dancing underneath the burning floor
we re running out of money ___ of confidence
were running out of drugs, of patience of air
were running out
were running out of money of love of luck
were running out of fame of language of bread
were running out of money of __ of confidence
Once there was a man
who had a little too much time on his hands
he never stopped to think that he was getting older.
When his night came to an end
He tried to grasp for his last friend and pretend
That he could wish himself health on a four-leaf clover
He said is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town
Its three o' clock in the morning
You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads
She says that they're all dead
She tried the last one on
It couldn't speak, fell off
And now she just wanders the halls
Thinking nothing, thinking nothing at all
She says is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town
The wheelies are cutting pavement
and the Skeksis at the rave meant
to hide deep inside
their sunken faces
and their wild, rolling eyes
But their callous words reveal
That they can no longer feel
Love or sex appeal
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal
To return to Oz we've fled the world
With smiles and clenching jaws
Please help me friend from coming down
I've lost my place and now it can't be found
Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
There's an urgency I'm feeling for the first time
It's all mine
Do we dream about each other at the same time?
All night
This might be the only way to talk to you
That's right
It's your ears with the sound that I walk into
Your mind
Is it the party that ain't over 'til it's through?
Is it the wiring that's suddenly blown a fuse?
Is it a chemical that makes this moment true?
Is it the music that connects me to you?
There's a way to get together then I'm gone away
One day
It's a place that all that matters are the notes you play
I say
Simple pleasures when I'm listening it gets me by
Won't lie
When you're singing I'll be with you 'til the exit time
We shine
Is it the party that ain't over 'til it's through?
Is it the wiring that's suddenly blown a fuse?
Is it a chemical that makes this moment true?
Is it the music that connects me to you?
Here I was awaiting
Praying for the muse
I'm finally awake and you have
Left me less confused
Maybe now
You will hear me now
I'm just in love
In love with your sound
Is it the party that ain't over 'til it's through?
Is it the wiring that's suddenly blown a fuse?
Is it a chemical that makes this moment true?
Is it the music that connects me to you?
Your song it gets me by
Some people say such awful things
I don't understand why they're so hateful
We don't need those diamond rings
Even though they look tasteful
Chichi parties
So important
Sink a fortune
High-class apartment
One or two ooh-oohs
Make you feel so good
It's not a threat to nobody
In fact the people should
Oooh
Don't you give me them blues
I got magic in my dancing shoes
Let me hear you say ooooh
When you talk sweet things in my ear
I get so hot inside I'm burning my clothes
Measure distances with tears
The tracks'll run for miles when I feel those
Mixed emotions
In your heart
Guilty feelings
You fall apart
One or two ooooh's
Nothing left to lose
I'm not a threat to nobody
Don't try and give me them blues
Oooh
Don't you give me them blues
I got magic in my dancing shoes
Let me hear you say ooooh
Say honey baby don't you know
Ain't got any money left to blow
Can't buy you no snow cone
Even when it's hot outside
Wanna make love show you what I can do
Pocket that rug and ride the groove
Just lemme go dance and give me no blues tonight
Oooh
Don't you give me them blues
I got magic in my dancing shoes
I know you didn’t realize
That the city was gone
You thought there would be advertisements
To give you something to go on
So we search the sky
For any flashing signs
We’ve gone too far beyond
The border it’s just you and I
And if this is the end
It’s the best place I’ve ever been
It feels so good to just
Get lost sometimes
Only the horses
Can find us tonight
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Our tracks they will follow
They’ll hear us calling
And save us by morning light
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Tonight
Tonight
We can’t escape the basic facts
How cold it can get
There’s nothing to protect ourselves
When the rain gets us wet
So I’ll just tell you now
This is our final bow
If you don’t know the way to
Hold me let me show you how
And if this is the end
It’s the best place I’ve ever been
It feels so good to just
Get lost sometimes
Only the horses
Can find us tonight
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Our tracks they will follow
They’ll hear us calling
And save us by morning light
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Tonight
Tonight
Only the horses
Can find us tonight
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Our tracks they will follow
They’ll hear us calling
And save us by morning light
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
When I was a young boy I pretended I had a job
My daddy said 'Pretty woman, Mama married into the mob'
I dreamed one day I'd be livin' off the system for free
But dreams come true, honey; welcome to my reality
And I sleep all day and wake myself in the shadows
(time to get up, gotta get up)
Gotta catch that train by midnight for the
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Punch that clock and break all the numbers
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over
I didn't have a penny
No, I couldn't cut a cheque with a blade
I used to have the shakes
But now they're good at getting me played
I sleep all day but I break my back in the moonlight
(pump it up, it's not enough)
Gotta cash that cheque by midnight for the
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Punch that clock and break all the numbers
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Punch that clock and break all the numbers
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over
And when the whistle blows
And your body can't take it no more
You gotta keep on movin', remember
This is what you asked for
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-night work
Na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-night work
Night work
Gotta do the night work
Night work gotta do the night work
Weekday 9 to 5 shift is over
I was a young girl
Knew next to nothing
Living in the suburbs
And my heart was lusting
For a new way
And a new sound
Crawled over my hang-ups
In the underground
I had a break through
I had to shake you
You could've come too
To see my point of view
We got a breakthrough
It was my debut
It didn't faze you
But it meant something to me
Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Night life, if there's no spirit
Night life, then don't go near it
Night life, to have it over
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
If you are feeling
Like you don't have nothing
Under pressure in the cooker
With your head in the oven
There's a new way
So come on down
Life ain't never really over
When you're underground
You need a breakthrough
You need to make do
You need to come to
A brand new point of view
You need to break through
And then get wise too
Our love is taboo
And you'll be something to see
Night life, beneath the surface
Night life, some say it's worthless
High life, instead of being
Inside, it's a song you're singing
Night life, it's a heart you're racing
Night life, it's a billion daisies
Night life, it's the cash your making
Inside, you can find your life in the night life
It's beneath the surface
Some say it's worthless
It's a low gut feeling
It's the rush you're feeling
You can beg your spirit
If you let that leave it
It's the back you're breaking
Are you ready for the night life
Night life, night life
Night life, love life, inside
Find your way to hide in the night life
(Night life, night life, night life)
You can find a life in the night life
(Night life, love life, inside)
Find your way to hide in the night life
I left my heart in San Fransisco
I'ts at some motherfucking disco
The people there where dancin' on it
And that's including Ms. Matronic
Hell if music is the victim then so am I
Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite
I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry
If music is the victim then som am I
Of your bad fun
Money's all gone but you need some
Lover's on the phone but the got none
Daddy ain't home from the dog run
And you're riding through the city with a shotgun
I left my bag in Pasadena
Where all them girls was doin' Tina
Them bitches sure where crunked up on it
I said I'd rather smoke som chronic
Hell if music is the victim then so am I
Of lovin' and a cheatin' the snake gon' bite
I beg and I scream and I cuss and I cry
If music is the victim then som am I
Of your bad fun
Money's all gone but you need some
Lover's on the phone but the got none
Daddy ain't home from the dog run
And you're riding through the city with a shotgun
I left my man in Houston Texas
Just before he finished breakfast
He said; oh baby fry some more eggs
But I was runnin' on my own two legs
Hell if Jesus had the power than so do I
To rise up from the dead and take up to the sky
I'm bustin' for the money so I get by
When you're quiet, but your eyes
Are saying everything I need to know
I want to burrow like a sparrow
Dodging alley cats and whiskers
Why do we talk in whispers?
Is it painful hearing voices ring
So early in the morning?
I've been waiting for the day
When I can throw away these numbers
That line my dresser drawers and cupboards
Start me over
Life seems so much slower
With your toothbrush by the mirror
Can I make it any clearer?
And I just might say it tonight
I just might say it tonight
I just might tell you tonight
That I love you
And you should stay all my life
They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it
If you just cut your clothes and change your hair
But I won't fuss and moan
'bout what you wear
I feel so much better
When I read your dirty letters
Just wear your sweaters in the winter
'Cause I wonuldn't want you to get cold
I hope that we're togethre when we're old
I would have sold all my possessions
Never took piano lessons
But baby you're a grand
And I will learn to play the good notes
And tune you up the best I can
And I just might say it tonight
I just might say it tonight
I just might tell you tonight
That I love you
I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishing you were dead
Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man
I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down your'e always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go round the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travelln' girl
Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man
Cause I'd give everything I have
Forget all the things that bring me joy
If you could have one day
Pure and simple happiness
Until that moment comes
I'll be here where I've always been
I'm gonna be your friend
Until the day I die
Mary, you should'nt let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
Another constellation dies
Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky
Just call me when the phone stops ringing
Thanks for coming by
I'm just glad I'm on your good side
Where it's smoldering or freezing
It's never all that easy to decide
This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are
And that's the nature of the chase
You fall so far behind you end in first place
Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own regret
There'sno harm in playing hard to get
Boundlessness deceives me
Baby you may turn the corner yet
This is the land of a thousand words
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say
Except I'll be looking after my own world
And you just keep on saving the day
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far
I'm on the run to wherever you are
I'm a gonna do everything I say
Tried to stay but time's running out
Just like a beauty queen
Poppin' loads of Benzedrine
Acting like forever 17
Love your mama's Cadillac
Had it since the dawn of crack
Daddy's little girl ain't coming back
I turn my back
Until you get stacked
I gotta get you going
I gotta get you going
I've made my bed
Now don't you play dead
I gotta get you going
I gotta get you going
I don't wanna waste time
I'll getcha getcha done
You can keep your shoes on
Keep your shoes on
It's not just any night
Let's turn it, turn it long
You can keep your shoes on
Keep your shoes
Keep your shoes
Keep your shoes
Playing Baby Wants a Ride
Freaking your mail order bride
Said she got she pregnant well she lied
Shimmy shimmy coco puff
I can't seem to get enough
Come over here let me touch your stuff
Twist and shout
Boobies hanging all out
You know you got me going
You know you got me going
Better work that blouse
Want your acid house
You know you got me going
You know you got me going
I don't want to play nice
I'll getcha getcha done
You can keep your shoes on
Keep your shoes on
It's not just any night
Let's turn it, turn it long
You can keep your shoes on
Keep your shoes
Keep your shoes
Keep your shoes
Don't stop til the early mornin'
Don't stop til you hear me callin'
You can keep your shoes on
Don't stop til the early mornin'
Don't stop til you hear me callin'
You can keep your shoes on
I don't wanna waste time
I'll getcha getcha done
You can keep your shoes on
Keep your shoes on
It's not just any night
Let's turn it, turn it long
You can keep your shoes on
Keep your shoes
Don't stop til the early mornin'
Don't stop til you hear me callin'
You can keep your shoes on
Don't stop til the early mornin'
Don't stop til you hear me callin'
At the doors of Babylon, You are my Zion,
Pacing Tiger, The keeper's cage,
Invisible light shoots from your eyes,
A sign I can see from my high rise,
Another castle crumbles, another monkey falls,
Just open up your joy and let the sailors climb the walls,
I thought I saw you laughing 10 feet in the air,
It doesn't matter if they touch you where because you can give me...
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light to keep me alive oh,
looking for the tension
I can feel it with the fingers in my mind...
Opiate Utopia is hotter by the hour,
I found you a flower in a field,
My invention, among the tired, among the poor,
Among the broken, the huddled masses,
Its your time...
You answer to a new name that changes all the time,
I'll call you anything you want if I can say it's mine.
This story's never ending.
My footprint's been erased.
Here you are, kiss of Evil,
I see your mouth, Or is it really...
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light uh-oh,
An Invisible light, An invisible light to keep me alive oh,
Something really gets dimension,
Can't you feel it bend your sense of time...
Babylon,
Where bricks of water and diamonds tower,
Sailor's lust and swagger lazing in the moon's beams,
Who's laser gaze penetrates this sparkling theater of excess and strobed lights,
Painted Whores. Sexual Gladiators. Fiercely old Party Children.
All waked from their slumber to debut the Baccara.
When you're standing on the side of a hill
Feeling like your day may be done
Here it comes
The strawberry smog
Chasing away the sun
Don't let those precious moments fool you
Happiness is getting you down
A rainbow never smiles or blinks
It's just a candy-colored frown
You were going on at half-past seven
Now it's going on a quarter 'til nine
All the angels want to know
Are you lost or treading water?
And you're going on your fifteenth bender
But you've only got a matter of time
Yes we've all got seeds to sow
Not everyone's got lambs to slaughter
When the night wind starts to turn
Into the ocean breeze
And the dew drops sting and burn
Like angry honey bees
That is when you hear the song falling from the sky
Happy yesterday to all
We were born to die
Sometimes you're filled with the notion
The afterlife's a moment away
You want to tell someone the way that you feel
But then you ain't got nothing to say
You fight for freedom from devotion
A battle that will always begin
With somebody giving you a piece of advice;
By the way you're living in sin
Now there's never gonna be an intermission
But there'll always be a closing night
Never entertain those visions
Lest you may have packed your baggage
First impressions are cheap auditions
Situations are long goodbyes
Truth so often to living dormant
Good luck walks and bullshit flies
When the headlights guide your way
You know the place is right
When the treetops sing and sway
Don't go to sleep tonight
That is when you see the sign
Luminous and high:
Tomorrow's not what it used to be
We were born to die
Happy yesterday to all
The weather man said today
It's a slight chance of rain
I had to laugh to myself
Because on any given day
It's been a hurricane
Knocking down my power lines
Shaking my foundation
Breaking all my window panes
I'll build again
And I'll send you a letter
Self addressed so you know
Exactly where to go
Please don't reply
Just arrive with the future
In your eyes I adore
Show me what they're for.
This is inevitable
When will you believe
This is inevitable
Time may turn the leaves
It's so inevitable that we
Will eventually see
Another spring again
On that you can depend
Somebody thinks they want
A lifetime in your sun
Fancy restaurant cocaine nights
Thinking you're the one
To give him every touch
But I know so much better
It's a matter of a moment
Till you break into a run
You're gonna try with all your might
To forget
But like a ghost I appear
To whisper in your ear
I'll see you smile
As you dial all the numbers
Memorized by the way
For this very day.
This is inevitable
When will you believe
This is inevitable
Time may turn the leaves
But it's inevitable that we
Will eventually see
Another spring again
On that you can depend
This is inevitable
As long as we still breathe
This is inevitable
Time may move the sea
But it's inevitable that we
Will eventually see
These waters rise again
On that you can depend
You can try to deny it baby
You can try. you can try
You can try to deny it baby
You can try your best
This is inevitable
When will you believe
This is inevitable
Time may turn the leaves
It's so inevitable that we
Will eventually see
Another spring again
On that you can depend
This is inevitable
As long as we still breathe
This is inevitable
Time may move the sea
But it's inevitable that we
Will eventually see
These waters rise again
Wake up in the morning with a head like 'What ya done?'
This used to be the life but I don't need another one
Good luck cuttin' nothin', carryin' on, you wear them gowns
So how come I feel so lonely when you're up gettin' down?
So I play along when I hear that favorite song
I'm gonna be the one who gets it right
You better know when you're swingin' 'round the room
Looks like magic's solely yours tonight
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if I find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you break it down when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Rather be home with no one if I can't get down with you
Cities come and cities go just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile
You got so many colors make a blind man so confused
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?
So I'll just pretend that I know which way to bend
And I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine
Just please understand when I see you clapped your hands
If you stick around I'm sure that you'll be fine
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if I find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you break it down when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Rather be home with no one if I can't get down with you
You can't make me dance around
But your two-step makes my chest pound
Just lay me down
As you float away into the shimmer light
But I don't feel like dancin' when the old Joanna plays
My heart could take a chance but my two feet can't find a way
You think that I could muster up a little soft shoe gentle sway
But I don't feel like dancin', no sir, no dancin' today
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Even if I find nothin' better to do
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
Why'd you break it down when I'm not in the mood?
Don't feel like dancin', dancin'
It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
Fuck and kiss you both at the same time
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten
I'm not a gangster tonight
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now you're gotten in my way
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
It's a bitch convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled
I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
That's why
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
You're digging deeper
Love is a creeper
I know the reaper
on a first name basis
It ain't Steven
It isn't Adam
I got some apples if you want 'em
you can grab 'em
And what I really want to do tonight
is toughen you up
Harder you get
Caught in my sweat
Never to wet
to want it all
Beatin' my drum
Faster you're done
can't have one
You want them all
Hell is my heaven
A loaded weapon
Don't point that thing at me
Unless you plan to shoot
My room is darker
Than any colour
I'm not your baby and I'll never be
you mother
And what I really want to do tonight
is toughen you up
Harder you get
Caught in my sweat
Never to wet
to want it all
Beatin' my drum
Faster you're done
can't have one
You want them all
You're sensitive to light
We're conjuring the night
You stand up with pride
Attempting to walk
You won't escape alive
Of what's become your life
Stop crying like a child
You got what you want
And what I really want to do tonight
is toughen you up
Harder you get
Caught in my sweat
Never to wet
to want it all
Beatin' my drum
Faster you're done
can't have one
You can see that you're being surrounded from every direction,
Love was just something you found to add to your collection,
It used to seem that we were number one,
But now it sounds so far away,
I had a dream we were running from some blazing arrows yesterday,
CHORUS
You said fight fire with fire,
Fire with fire,
Fire with fire,
Through desire,desire,sire, desire,
Through your desire
Now the city blacks out the sun,
That you know is rising,
You can show me the work that you've done,
Your fears have been disguising,
Is it just me or is everyone hiding out between the lines,
What will we be when we come undone,
Just a simple meaning of the minds,
CHORUS x2
And we'll fight fire with fire,
Fire with fire,
Fire with fire,
Through desire,desire,sire,desire,
Through your desire
Underneath your sky,
There's a million lights burning brightly,
Just like fire,
To call let everyone surround you,
From every direction,
Cos there's someone behind every hand,
That you've made a connection,
And now we're free to be number one,
The morning isn't far away,
I had a dream we were holding on,
And tomorrow has become today,become today
CHORUS x2
And we'll fight fire with fire,
Fire with fire,
Fire with fire,
Through desire,desire,sire,desire,
I know i'm into you
I don't know what to do
When we talk I feel like I've died twice
Boxers use it's fists
Hockey players break their wrist
You break my heart when you try to play nice
Like a detective whitout a case
I'll magnify what you say and
Test the implications
It could be you or it could be through
Before it even begins
I'm a fish swimming without fins
Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
That i didn't get to know you better than i did
You tell me that you're mine
Are you just being kind?
Let's not strech our imagination
When you look into my eyes
Always get them butterflies
My knees get weak with anticipation
And if I might have a slip of the tongue
Will the fun dissapear?
Is the binding coming undone?
You keep me waiting within your grasp
But I can't tell what you feel
And i'm too afraid to ask you
Better luck next time
Maybe we could have a go
With another kind of love
One that carries on
Better luck next time
Guess I've only one regret
I wrote a brand new song today
It's got every little thing I need to say
Had it so long on the tip of my tongue
All these words left unsung
May not hear it on MTV
No big deal, fine by me
As long as you know I'm starting now
To see what you see
You take away my insecurities
You make a day go by just like the breeze
I must confess the mess I may reveal
I'm half the man that you make me feel
You know how to find the best in me
You keep bringing out the best in me
You know how to find the best
So much better than the rest
Just keep bringing out the best in me
If somebody wants to hold my hand
There's very few things that I demand
But the one thing you should know
Just let me be or let me go
I had every chance to walk away
From this needle in the hay
Just turn around and let me say it to your face
You take away my insecurities
You make a day go by just like the breeze
I must confess this happiness I feel
I find it hard to believe it's real
You know how to find the best in me
You keep bringing out the best in me
You know how to find the best
So much better than the rest
Just keep bringing out the best in me
You take what's good and make it better in me
You know how to find the best
Just keep bringing out the best in me
(You take what's good and make it better in me)
You know how to find the best
Just keep bringing out the best in me
(You take what's good and make it better in me)
You know how to find the best
Just keep bringing out the best in me
You know how to find the best
Just keep bringing out the best in me
You take away my insecurities
You make a day go by just like the breeze
I must confess the mess I may reveal
I'm half the man that you make me feel
You know how to find the best in me
You keep bringing out the best in me
You know how to find the best
So much better than the rest
i don't mind
if your running around
giving someone the time
it don't matter
just to know that you love me
i'm laying in bed
with a whole lot of wonder
going through my head
this dog with a bone
gets a little bit lonely
i'm too cool to lose my control
your too cool to go
later i just don't wanna know
your out there happenin' at all
baby come home..to me
baby come home..to me
it's half past quarter to three
baby come home..to me
said i'm that kind of guy
when i see a grown man cry
baby come home..to me
baby come home..
baby one more pill
till i close my eyes
to a pain i feel
i can't sleep
lest your laying beside me
i got no doubt
that would be just fine
if you were living without me
i just can't let you start to deny
9, 10, 11
now midnight strikes
i don't know where you been
i still want to make love tonight
when you come stumbling in
baby come home..to me
baby come home..to me
it's half past quarter to three
baby come home..to me

when i see a grown man cry
baby come home..to me

to drop my fears go away

with no more chips to play

baby come home
baby come home..to me
baby come home..to me
it's half past quarter to three
baby come home..to me
said i'm that kind of guy
when i see a grown man cry
baby come home..to me
Dancing on the speakers
Are you peaking with tweakers
Bigots and the breeders on the scene
The night don't last forever
So get your shit together
Open arms are never worth the scene
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
I don't need a doctor
Just a simple look or garter
Just slide to my side sociably
No, don't go commitment
When I receive a shipment
Oh, I need express delivery
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
You don't need reservations
No identification
To give me your relations
Sting me like a bee
I want you to funk me
Your battle ship has sunk me
Dip me and you dunk me
Set my body free
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
You know baby
When I was taking my pantyhose
Out of their egg this evening
I thought, I'm gonna find that man
Who has the right shade of bottled tan
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash
Take me anyway you like it
In front of your fireplace
In front of your yacht
In front of my parents
I don't give a damn, baby
Just take me
Any which way
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way you can
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
(Any which way, any which way)
Any which way
(Any which way you can)
You better take me
(Any which way)
Any which way you can
(Any which way you can)
Any which way
(Any which way, any which way)
Any which way
(Any which way you can)
You better take me
(Any which way)
Any which way you can
What is the full speed of language
When there is nothing to say
What's in the air
There must be something there
But it's not in service today
Sometimes the neighbors complain
The phone speaks another's full name
It's the secret life of letters
The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken
I haven't heard
How many days in a sentence
I feel like passing this phrase
These aren't my friends
Maybe they'll be again
Arranging themselves in their ways
I've got to pick up the paper
She says I'm glad it's not raining
It's the secret life of letters
The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken
I haven't heard
I haven't heard
My heart it dances,
Whenever I'm with you
Don't make advances
I'm scared of what you'll do.
We go out,
Have a laugh,
Have a good time,
You and I,
We go on,
Have a drink,
Have a good time
You and I
And when the night is through
It feels so right to kiss your lips
Wish I could say to you
That I've got so much
Come and get it.
Get it, get it
Get it, get it.
Hug and kiss it
Love it love it!
Get it, get it,
Get it, get it.
If you're with it
Come and get it.
Come and get it.
I'm waiting in my room
To pick you up at eight.
There's so much we can do
I promise I won't be late!
We go out,
Have a laugh,
Have a good time,
You and I,
We go on,
Have a drink,
Have a good time
You and I
And when the fun ends
I look into your eyes and say
Oh what a lovely time
I think that this might be the day to
Get it, get it
Get it, get it.
Hug and kiss it
Love it love it!
Get it, get it,
Get it, get it.
If you're with it
Come and get it.
And when the night is through
It feels so right to kiss your lips
Wish I could say to you
That I've got so much
Come and get it.
And when the fun ends
I look into your eyes and say
Oh what a lovely time
I think that this might be the day to...
Get it, get it
Get it, get it.
Hug and kiss it
Love it love it!
Get it, get it,
Get it, get it.
If you're with it

Monkey baby's in the Brooklyn Queens
Monkey baby's in designer jeans
(spoken)
You know, monkeys make great pets.
It's like having a baby that never grows up.
And they look so cute in diapers.
And they look up at you with those big soft brown saucer eyes
and they say to you...
(monkey sounds)
Step aside for the man
Better watch him before you go downtown
Up the side, slip and slide
Take another way to lie, better speed it up
Got a lost and found, make it nice and fine all the time
CHORUS:
Cause I'm a real nice guy and I'm free as hell
To be a cornpoke faggot dressed really really well
In my big black boots and my denim daisy dukes
I got my big blond hair and my leather underwear
You know I'm fine cause I work it all the time
Baby, do it while you can
If your nasty, you will get burned down
Take a ride with the tide, there's a ocean deep inside
Better learn how to swim the backstroke freestyle
Make it feel good all the while
How many times
Do you get a broken heart
Till you lay down and give up and die
Try to keep your love
But they don't want to give it back
He only wants to make you cry
Those boys will kill you
Cause it's the man at the top
Who'll know just how to show you what's up
You need someone to touch you
Not the boys at the bottom
They're only going to bring you down
You don't have to take it
Even when you feel like world's just a dot in the sky
We're still going to make it big
As long as love shines through
No one's going to blow us to hell
You're in my heart
Even though it fell apart
All we had to do was try
I still love you
But the pain feels funny
Now that you're seeing other guys
This boy will kill me
I've got the weed and floor singing mama
But I'm still all broke up
I need someone to touch me
I've got my walls all down
I'm coming around and I'm ready to funk
You don't have to fake it
What with you sit there drinking
And you're thinking about another guy
I'm still going to make it big
Once the sun shines through
And finally made smarter (?) than you
Those boys will kill you
Cause it's the man at the top
Who'll know just how to show you what's up
You need someone to touch you
Not the boys at the bottom
Backwoods Discotheque
- Scissor Sisters -
Let's all go to the backwoods discotheque
Let's go get wrecked with a sweat yeah
If ya got a car and a kinky girl
You'll get wet right quick at the discotheque yeah
No one knows who goes to the backwood club
And rubs their nub in the sludge bugs
If you got booze and a dirty boy
You're gonna love that club in the backwoods discotheque
In the sweat set met gettin' freaky with the hot tub jets, don't fret, you're a wreck.
You a drug love bug gettin' mushy on the pussy of a big pink love slug's drug hun.
Let's be friends to the end, can we pretend even though I thought my turkey was a hen yeah
If you take drugs with the thugs what you really need is hugs right now at the discotheque yeah
Let's all go to the backwoods discotheque
Let's go get wrecked with a sweat yeah
If ya got a car and a kinky girl
You'll get wet right quick at the discotheque yeah
In the sweat set met gettin' freaky with the hot tub jets, don't fret, you're a wreck.
You a drug love bug gettin' mushy on the pussy of a big pink love slug's drug hun.
"I walked into that goddamn club 'n they tried pullin' my panties off, and throwin' me on the pool table. I said 'I like playin' cards but you mothafuckas best not be playin' poker with my asshole.' "
I'm talkin' 'bout the backwoods, backwoods discotheque.
(Can you hear them calling, calling my name)
The backwoods, the backwoods discotheque.
Can you hear them calling (can you hear them calling)
Calling your name (calling your name calling your)
Can you hear them calling (Can you hear them calling)
Calling my name (calling my name, calling your calling your...)
The backwoods, the backwoods discotheque.
(...calling your calling your calling your calling your...)
The backwoods, the backwoods discotheque.
We're getting nowhere
Where did we go?
Shifting so slowly
Facing the top
Creeping and diving
The palm of my hand
Where we'll soon discover
A soft place to lie
She waits on the bow
Waves break from the south
There's no way to tell her now
She waits but we're getting nowhere
Transistor won't you take my signal
Stand in line beside and hold the wire
Transistor let the new world hit you
Help me reach the stars between your eyes
Transistor
We're shaking the apple
Tasting the ice
Feelings arise and
Feeling surprise
I see a curtain
Beginning to fall
What's good for the captain
if anyone was headed for the gates of hell i knew you'd be first
i used to picture your obituary and i wished you the worst
the danger of the playground
the radio said you drowned
and i'm sorry
almost
almost sorry
no sympathy is given to the perpetrator charged with the crime
im willing to admit that it feels good to be a victim sometimes
and i wont ever get to thank you for the terrible things you said
'cause i'm sorry
almost
that you're dead to the world
where i hoped you would be
never imagined you'd live on in me
you gave me destination but i paid for the ride
the place you punched my ticket left a crater inside
where i cried (he cried)
where i cried (you died)
where i cried from the bruises
learned to live with the scars
now you live in the mirror
when i look there you are
you're the shadow on the faces of the ppl i meet
have you claimed eternal shotgun in my passenger seat
well i'm sorry
almost
almost sorry
sometimes the best design is done by damage
the accident can cease
Are you a Scissor sister?
Scissor sister
Scissor sister
Are you a Scissor sister?
Scissor sister (x6)
Scissor sister can you work it on out? (x4)
Electrobix, your moves they make me sick, Electrobix yeah
Electrobix, your moves they make me sick, Electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks Electrobix yeah
You gotta pump your body
Oooo you wanna be a hunny
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body (x2)
When I was just a boy with my lunch in a bag
The other little boys made me feel like a fag
I didn't like sports didn't play outside
A lisp and a limp wrist too much to hide
I always felt trapped inside
I always felt trapped inside
You gonna feel high, high, high
But you gotta feel good, good, good (x2)
I started working out at the YMCA
I couldn't lift the weights and I felt like a gay
Didn't take long just to understand
I was growing up big like a superman
I swear I'm doing all I can
I swear I'm doing all I can
You gonna feel high, high, high
But you gotta feel good, good, good (x2)
Coz there aint no woman or man or tranny or thing
Whose gonna love you like they should
You gotta pump your body
Oooo you wanna be a hunny
You better like to party
You gotta pump that body (x2)
I go to the gym almost 5 times a week
I've gained lots of weight and I look like a freak
I get real bored when I sit at home
I just do what I wanna do and I stroke my bone
You gotta pump your body (I've never felt so alone)
You gotta pump that body
You gotta pump that body (I've never felt so alone)
You gotta pump that body
Electrobix, your moves they make me sick, Electrobix yeah
Your legs they look like sticks Electrobix yeah
Electrobix, your moves they make me sick, Electrobix yeah
You are subject to inspections
Those are not your lips
Have you been kissed by a computer
Are you able to move your hips
CHORUS:
It's the skins, have you seen her
Holding us in
The skins, have you seen her
We cling to our skin
Is it true, are you changing
If so, I won't come in
Are you going to be different
There's a war without skin
(Repeat Chorus)
Randy Perkins, where are you now?
The age of innocence is dead
Legions of legends have shown us how
When your raging, it's so hard to keep your head
When your raging, it's so hard to keep your head
I'm not complaining, it's so hard to keep your head
When your raging, it's so hard to keep your head
you are subject to inspections
those are not your lips
have you been kissed by a computer
are you able to move your hips?
It's the skins have you seen them
holding us in
the skins can you see them
we cling to our skin
is it true are you changing
if so i won't come in
are you going to be so different
you're so wrong without skin
It's the skins have you seen them
holding us in
the skins can you see them
we cling to our skin
Randy Burgens where are you now?
the angels renaisanse is dead
leagens of legends have shown us how
when you're raging its so hard to keep your head
when your raging its so hard to keep your head
im not complaining its so hard to keep my head
when you're raging its so hard to keep your head
It's the skins have you seen them
holding us in.
the skins can you see them
