I see nothing in their eyes
- there's nothing to replace the thought I have
and when I feel that shiver up my spine,
it's so good to know the devil's on my side
But who's going to hold these hands that shake,
who's going to mend these bones that break,
who'll wipe these eyes that never see,
the chance of life in front of me.
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun,
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun.
When you find that God's already there,
and he puts a seal of love upon your door,
well I was a praying man at first,
but now I never get down on the floor.
But who's going to hold these hands that shake,
who's going to mend these bones that break,
who'll wipe these eyes that never see,
the chance of life in front of me.
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun,
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun.
Now look at him he walks away in shame,
if he gets there is the answer still the same,
under that big sky is there room to rest my head,
perhaps you'll find him there,
Eyes closed, hands full
I carried that cross from the start
I smile, we're taught
There's always room in God's heart
He saves a place for me
If only, if only I prayed
Eyes closed, hands full
I let myself down from that cross
I smile, we're taught
There's always room, I've not lost
That place He saved for me
If only, if only I pray
Who's for the boy who's brave
Forgets his yesterdays
Force him to try too hard
Who's for the boy who's brave
Forgets his yesterdays
Force him to try too hard
I ask that man I was
Too much to ask for cause
Who wants to live by love
Hear me shout
Oh, I'll take anything
That fresh she has to give
Straight into my hands
Right in those yellow fields
Where summertime is taken
By such small hands,
Well, it's such a funny day
It's such a funny day
Your smile's in my head
And that's all right
When in the bluest sky
If I look up I see no sign of echo
When if there's sadness
And they want quick smile
It's not there tomorrow
A bored smile went between the choppers
She made her way above the crowd
I said things I knew would not shock her
I said things to make her feel proud
Trust in me
Things you do
And things you care about
Trust in me
Things I tell you
Gloria
I'll wait until the very end
I found myself under your window
You're looking down watching me sing
I know now you left me in limbo
But sometimes that's the way things begin
Gloria
I'll wait until the very end
Gloria
These things I say
The dreams
We just laugh and we just sing
And it keeps us happy
Keep all the things
That good luck brings
And we dress so snappy
We don't let
Little things come between us
We don't scare
When we're put to the test
Look so weak and feel so strong
That we get laughed at
These days in grey go on and on
With these vultures on my back
I can't seem to get worried about it
I get high just thinking about it
Put down your pills
Stop dreaming about it
Pick up your thrills
And shout about it
I'll read you my poems
You tell me what you think
If promise not to laugh at them
So I look to my friend
Who tells me the truth
He says that I am cured
I'm cured, I'm cured
Here come the boys
Who make that noise to keep you happy
Sink or swim we'll get to ring
These changes through my life
One thing that we've known from the start
Deep down inside, we're punk rockers at heart!
Are you scared to get happy? (we don't scare)
How many rivers must I cross
I don't know
How many rivers must I cross
I don't know
Talk about your days
I hope are too narrow
To the ﾉ. a better day I'll go
Oh and the load I carry
Makes me slow
We'll bring the burden's truth
We're watch it grow
(chorus)
Where are those freaks
Who had me down
They won't believe their eyes
When they see where I'm bound
Where the sun shines
Where the sun's so high
Walk on their fingers
Watch how ﾉ rise
How many rivers must I cross
I don't know
These eyes have seen through god
These lips have tasted love
And those been far away
But the hope has always stayed
(chorus)
I'll make you pause when people stand
And shake these hands
I'll make you pause when people stand
And shake these hands
How many rivers must I cross
Everybody's asking
When you gonna pick up your life
Everybody's saying
Isn't it about time you took yourself a wife
You're such a lucky kid
Such a lucky kid
You had everything you wanted to take
Sun and moon and the stars that shine for you
Now you're spitting on you lucky breaks, well
That's the way it's been
That's the way it's going
That's the way it's been
That's the way it's going
Everybody's singing
Singing my praises so high
They don't know what they're saying
What they're saying
They think my rivers can never run dry
It's not the way I planned it
Like you can't grow flowers from every plant
Though I'd love to set this world on fire
Well, I would if I could but I can't
(chorus)
Great expectations from me an my mouth
Well, you sure know by now
.. to decide
Looking through you like a dog looks to a man
But in a bad sense sometimes
Will they understand
Will they understand
Everybody's thinking
Everybody's thinking the same
Why can't I move up closer
Little closer up to my aim
Same thing stopping me
Is the same thing stopping everybody else
You friend were fools
With good intentions
About timing and a lack of good health
Say you're seventeen
Say you're seventeen
And you've got no sense
Well, if you ask me
That's best way that you could be
Like you're innocent
But yet you're the best
Gone, gone, gone
Let's go
Well, you had the game
But then you wanted more
And now you have more pain
Than what you're asking for
You've been thinking too fast
And you've been moving too slow
And that's the way
When I get downstairs
I pulled the curtain back
I found your letter on the floor
Were the heart beats up
You give away too much
The time it starts to show
Was I so scared
Was I so scared to look inside
Was I so scared at what I'd find
Was I so scared at what I'd find
But she said
I'd like to see you Sunday
She said
I (kind of) like the way you smile
She said
I'd like to see you Sunday
And if the rain falls then
We both could stay inside
And now I'm at your door
I stretch to ring a bell
And then straighten up my tie
First you're standing there
And next we're holding hands
Somehow I don't believe my eyes
Was I so scared
Was I so scared to step inside
Was I so scared at what I'd find
Was I so scared at what I'd find
And now everybody smiles
Now nobody cries
Now everybody smiles except us
I can't see your eyes
Can't see your face
Can't see your smile
The promise in your head
It's gone away
Oh that night
You walked in the room
Harps didn't play and ice didn't break
You had a boyfriend
Hundreds of miles away
I had a girl away for the day
And that night I lay by your side
I didn't mean to mess up your life
With hero stories and little white lies
Oh I said love was never real
Now who thought love could ever kill
In the morning the cold hit our faces
Should I kiss you or beg your forgiveness
I led I'd seen you before
Elizabeth too late was the call
You slipped my mind
I wasn't here for a second
Losing me
A simple art I've perfected
But from the inside
I'm looking -
I'm sinc and tired
Of this lonely room
I thought you were the key
Now I think you're the lock
I'm sick and tired
Of this lonely room
I thought you were the key
Now I think you're the lock
You slipped my mind
I wasn't here for a second
For a second
Sun is out, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you, dear
Sun is out, the sky is blue
It isn't love and glory
Would fit into history
As you stand by the door
All my rainbow vision
You wait a flat submission
As I sit down and count the score
But these things that I've
Been longing to say
Get farther away
Lost at such a cost
Standing back to back
Choosing weapons from a rack
That's hanging on your wall
You know that we'll
Come to choose what's fair
Like all the rivers that we'd share
No one wants to show the truth
Miss this kiss
Miss this kiss
Knew that this would happen
Don't say you can't imagine you would
Never ever get the call
Never show your face here
Sympathy's out of place
Or do I have to paint it on walls
If you ever forget
This happiness you bet
And miss this
Miss this kiss
Just run around and look
Like it says in the good book
And I'l turn that horse to stone
You know that I'm
Standing in the rain
Little smile goes down the drain
Next time you'll never roam
And if you should miss this kiss
Miss this kiss
Never knew a place where
Bitterness was so commonplace
And was I ever so sure
That I found the cure
Turn around and look
Like it says in the good book
And I'll turn that horse to stone
You know that
Whatever comes to pass
Come the end, come the very last
You will get just what you're owed
Where were you going the last time we spoke,
who was it with I hasten to joke,
who do you care for?
who do you love?
who do you pray for in heaven above.
I thoght for a moment I could hear the bells ring,
but then I realized it was you at my puppet strings.
First I was sure but now I'm in doubt,
the room full of smoke I just had to walk out,
I've seen you in sunshine I've seen you in snow,
how will you cope in that valley below.
Seen you walking now who do you know,
who would keep in comfort wherever you go.
I thought you were leaving on saturdays train,
armed full of flowers and a head full of rain,
we both know that sometime we'll both cease to exist,
there are changes in life that you just shouldn't miss.
Well, I walked into town
With my hands b my side
Nothing hurts anymore
Not my guilt, not my pride
It's the season I am told
That your reason starts to fade
And the first sounds you say
Voices calling my name but now,
Oh, sweet sanity
Did you call when I was not here
Oh sweet sanity
You had no reason to disappear
Well, I never expected
All those dreams to survive
There's this game I've perfected
It's called taking a dive
There's a tree by a brook
Where we once used to play
Nothing there anymore
Except the vows that we made, well now
(chorus)
Yes, now and all this calamity
That you cause when you're not here
Stops all thoughts of vanity
About this long and selfish career
And for a second sweet sanity
Did you say
That you'd go around here again
Oh, sweet sanity
Come and free me
From this ball and chain
Where are those years
Come on, come on
Where are those blessed days
Come on, come on
Give me my golden days
Come on, come on
Taste this honey and those hips
Come on, have the world
You sent me some flowers
To put on my grave
Sent you this coward
Instead of this brave
Then I get to that third line
Which I rarely get past
And I'm faced with that blank page
You fill the lines up so fast
And you do, do
And you do, do
Come from the forest
So high above town
If I came out there with you
I could never look down
And there is just one thing
That I think you should know
If you gave me the reins now
I could never let go
If you've seen my little stream
And you've seen where it's been
If you give a little sign
I'd tell you what it means
Do do do do
If I said that I love you
With all of my heart
Will that be too much
Or would it be just the start
And it's you that cools me
When I'm shot down in place
It folds out, it folds in
Peel back into my face
And you do, do, do,
And you do, do, do,
If you've seen my little stream
And you've seen where it's been
If you give a little sign
Woke up to the smell of fresh cut grass
Jangiling guitars in my ears
The things that I thought were impossible
Are somehow becoming quite real
Becoming quite real
It may be raining where you are
The skies may not seem very clear
But the sun it shines here
Suddenly things started moving
And all of my enemies have looked round
They're wanting to see me too badly
They want to rub my face in the ground
My face in the ground
May be raining
But who cares anyway
Somehow those clouds disappear
Suddenly the secret's out
I let you in
Don't let me down
I promise not to tell
I promise not to tell
So cross your heart and hope to die
And never, never tell a lie
Well, my best friend is jelousy
He'd take my heart
She'd paint it always free
Forever green
This boy's angry
This boy's sad
This boy' angry
This boy's seen
The twinkle in your eye
When he just holds your hand
I'll cry
This dusty road
We always walk
Think of these mouths
We always talk
Look at yourself
So declare ra??
Now who'd've thought
We'd send them back
And who'd've thought
We could stand in front of millions now and
And who'd've thought
You would dare to shake our hands
And who'd've thought
We could ever paint the sky blue
While the body turns
They watch our mouths
Body turns they watch (our mouths)
These eager boys
So quick to serve
One of the lies
We always heard
Your grabbing hands
Your crying eyes
If they were ours
We apologize
Body turns they watch our mouths
when feeling sorry who do I hate
I hate you
when feeling selfish who do I hurt
I hurt you
I don't need food or bitter drinks
or things to do to help me think about you
when I 'm lost in silence what does it mean
when I want the garden over the fence
'cause that's greener, but
I don't need things to help me sleep
or books to read to make me weep
or pills to take to keep me awake
I've got all my dreams kept up to date about you
well, the birds and bees will follow me round
'cause they want to see what luck I've found
I don't need food or bitter drinks
Well, I was ready to walk into your heart
I'll make believe there's something I've lost
But I think you know what I've done
Oh I think you know
I'll be your surprise
It's just a secret that's alwasy on display
Or just a memory you can't throw away
With beauty I walk
Your hands outstretched to pull my wings
With god I talk
For hours and hours of time it kills
Who could be so brave
To throw this winning hand away
We suffer and see
And girl, you know
That love don't come
For people like me
A lighter touch
From the hand you used to hold so much
Now it's rent
You can't believe how quick it went
So I'll leave you sad
And every chance you take you cry
But now you know
That the path of love's
Not paved with gold
From start to end
From ﾉ said there's no such word
So I'll leave you sad
And every chance you take you cry
And it's just honesty
That always holds us down
It's just honesty
That always holds us down
One, two, three
Just frame that dream so we could
Hold the hearts of many, see
This honesty
Will always hold us down
And I said girl, you know
That love don't come
For people like me
And I said girl, you know
That love don't come
For people like me
Night and day grow cold,
when bright hope turns dull.
Through those days you must shine,
take what's left in life,
leave the rest to find.
When self pity is self taught,
then suffer for your thoughts.
Through those days you must shine,
take what's left in life,
leave the rest to find.
What's the secret of life, find the secret of life,
what's the secret of life, I've found the secret of life, I've found the secret of life,
I've finally found.
I've finally found.
I've finally found.
I've finally found.
I've finally found.
I've finally found.
I've finally found.
Outside I hear the rain
- while my mind wandered away,
And to your picture I would gaze
- so I could have, one glimpse of heaven and hell everyday.
Did you press the flowers I sent
- in the book you never read,
Then your last note kindly said
- that true love, a new love, a good love had found your bed.
Well I guess that I never cut it for girls like you.
I'm all lies and no truth.
So I turned my cheek and felt the hand that slapped me down,
Was it sweet revenge that made your punch so proud,
My sole/soul admission. I tasted other lips
You know, a forein kiss I never could resist.
Well I guess that I never cut it for girls like you.
I'm all lies and no truth.
I want to kiss you, want to kiss you,
But I never want the blame,
I want to hold you, want to hold you,
But I never want to stay,
And though I need you, though I need you,
I never want to say,
Oh that I love you, that I love you, that I love you
Until my dying day.
Once she said - she said I was everything.
I want to kiss you, want to kiss you,
But I never want the blame,
I want to hold you, want to hold you,
But I never want to stay,
And though I need you, though I need you,
I never want to say,
Oh that I love you, that I love you, that I love you
Until my dying day.
She said I was everything.
I want to hold you.
I want to hold you.
I walk by day all around
Around your door
And then I'll say
What's been wrong with you, my love
It's like I've been so kind that I
I can show you whatS7s better
Now for rainy days
Since I've gone you've been down
Down on promises of chance
And better things
Like a walk in the park
The one time losing time has come
For us to spand a while
Talk and remember
Sweet days of love and hope and joy
But now these days have gone
And al I have
Are thoughts of what we were
Like ships that pass on summer nights
That won't relate
And now our time slipped away
Go and find
What fortune comes your way
So many colors
In my head
I always talk softly
When I speak to my friend
And his ???
It's so long
The air is so bright
It's almost too strong
And it'S so nice
When there's something that you like
All of a sudden
He's talking back
His voice is unsure
But it's never flat
And it's the spinning
It's so loud
I'm not a coward
I'm just scared to shout
And it's so nice

How dare they try

How dare they try
To end this beauty?
To keep us under foot
They bury us in soot
Pretending it's a chore
To ship us off to war
In this dive

Folding the flag is putting it to bed for the night.

Crazy for the red blue and white

Answer my weary query

We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something there is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives, I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester, England, England
Manchester, England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God believes in Claude
That's me, that's me, that's me
We starve, look at one another, short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Except for Timothy Leary, dearie

She asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low, don't ask me why, don't know
It's not for lack of bread, like the Greatful Dead, darlin'
Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there, hair, shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
Hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow, my hair
Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas, in my hair
A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow, my hair
I want long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided
Powered, flowered and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled and spahettied
Oh say, can you see my eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
Down with here, down to there
Down till there, down to where it's stuck by itself
They'll be ga-ga at the go-go, when they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son, why don't my mother love me?
Hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow
My hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow
My hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow

BERGER:
Me and Lucifer
Lucifer and me
Just like the angel that fell
Banished forever to Hell
Today have I been expelled
From high school heaven
Elevator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down
This is my doom, my humiliation
October, not June
And it's summer vacation
Such a disgrace
How can i face the nation?
Why should this pain
Bring me such strange elation?
Escalator going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going down
Going down
Going down
Emancipation proclamation
Oh Dr. Lincoln
My head needs shrinkin'
Lu lu lu lu lu lu Lucifer and me
Doomed from here
To e-ter-ni-ty!
Going up going down
Going down
Going down
Everybody going up
Going down
Going down down down down
Forgive me if I don't cry
It's like the Fourth of July
Thank God that angels can fly
Down down down
Going down down down
Going down down down
I met a boy called Frank Mills
On September twelfth right here
In front of the Waverly but unfortunately
I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend
A drummer, he resembles George Harrison of the Beatles
But he wears his hair
Tied in a small bow at the back
I love him but it embarrasses me
To walk down the street with him
He lives in Brooklyn somewhere
And wears this white crash helmet
He has golden chains on his leather jacket
And on the back are written the names
'Mary and Mom
And Hell's Angels'
I would gratefully appreciate it
If you see him, tell him
I'm in the park with my girlfriend
And please
Tell him Angela and I
Don't want the two dollars back
Just him
Tell me who do you love man?
Tell me what man?
Tell me what's it you love man?
An old fashioned melody
Tell me what's it that moves you?
Tell me what's it that grooves you?
An old fashioned melody
But old songs leave you dead
We sell our souls for bread
We're all encased in sonic armor
Beltin' it out through chrome grenades
Miles and miles of medusan chord
The electronic sonic boom
It's what's happening, baby
It's where it's at daddy
They chain ya and brainwash ya
When you least suspect it
They feed ya mass media
The age is electric
I got the electric blues
I got the electric blues
Thwump, rackety, whomp
Rock, folk rock, rhythm and blues
Electronics explodin', rackety-clack
Thwump, rackety, whomp
Plugged in, turned on
We're all encased in sonic armor
Beltin' it out through chrome grenades
Miles and miles of medusan chord
The electronic sonic boom
It's what's happening, baby
It's where it's at daddy
They chain ya and brainwash ya
When you least suspect it
They feed ya mass media
The age is electric
I got the electric blues
How can people be so heartless?
How can people be so cruel?
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings?
How can they ignore their friends?
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
And especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend? I need a friend
How can people be so heartless?
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to give in, easy to help out
And especially people who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend? I need a friend
How can people have no feelings?
How can they ignore their friends?
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold
Once upon a looking-for-Donna-time
There was a sixteen year old virgin
Oh Donna oh oh Donna oh oh oh
Looking for my Donna
I just got back from looking for Donna
San Francisco
Psychedelic urchin
Oh Donna oh oh Donna oh oh oh
Looking for my Donna
Have you seen
My sixteen year old tattooed woman
Heard a story
She got busted for her beauty oh oh oh
Oh oh!
Once upon a looking-for-Donna-time
There was a sixteen year old virgin
Oh Donna oh oh Donna oh oh oh
Looking for my Donna
I've been to India and saw the yogi light (lie?)
In South America the Indian smoke glows bright
I'm reincarnated and so are we all
And in this lifetime we'll rise
Before we fall
Before we fall
Once upon a looking-for-Donna-time
There was a sixteen year old virgin
Oh Donna oh oh Donna oh oh oh
Looking for my Donna
And I'm going to show her
Life on earth can be sweet
Gonna lay my mutated head (self) at her feet
And I'm gonna love her make love to her
Till the sky turns brown
I'm evolving I'm evolving
Through the drugs
That you put down
Once upon a looking-for-Donna-time
There was a sixteen year old virgin
Oh Donna oh oh Donna oh oh oh
Looking for my Donna
Looking for my Donna
I'm a colored spade
A nigger, a black nigger
A jungle bunny, Jigaboo coon
Pickaninny mau mau
Uncle Tom, Aunt Jemima
Little Black Sambo
Cotton pickin'
Swamp guinea
Junk man
Shoeshine boy
Elevator operator
Table cleaner at Horn and Hardart
Slave voodoo, zombie
Ubangi lipped
Flat nose, tap dancin'
Resident of Harlem
And president of
The United States of Love
President of
The United States of Love
[Incomprehensible] this man at dinner
You're gonna have to feed him
Watermelon, hominy grits
An' shortnin' bread
Alligator ribs and pig tails
Some black eyed peas
Hot chilies
Some watermelon hominy grits
An' shortnin' bread, alligator ribs
Piggy tails, black eyed peas
Collard greens
And if you don't watch out
The boogie man will get you
Boo!
Did you hear what he said about boogie man?
That guy has got to be outta his mind
I think he said boogie man, that sure is nasty
Black boys are delicious
Chocolate flavored love
Licorice lips like candy
Keep my cocoa handy
I have such a sweet tooth
When it comes to love
Once I tried a diet of quiet, rest, no sweets
But I went nearly crazy and I went clearly crazy
Because I really craved for chocolate flavored treats
Black boys are nutritious
Black boys fill me up
Black boys are so damn yummy
They satisfy my tummy
I have such a sweet tooth
When it comes to love
Black, black, black, black
Black, black, black, black
When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the minds true liberation
Aquarius, Aquarius
When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius, Aquarius, Aquarius
Welcome sulphur dioxide,
Hello carbon monoxide
The air, the air is everywhere
Breathe deep, while you sleep, breathe deep
Bless you alcohol bloodstream,
Save me nicotine lungsteen
Incense, incense is in the air
Breathe deep, while you sleep, breathe deep
Cataclysmic, cataplasm
Fall out atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume at the stone of my tomb
Breathe like a solemn perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb
Welcome sulphur dioxide,
Hello carbon monoxide
The air, the air is everywhere
Yes, I's finished on y'all farm land with yo' boll weevils and all
And pluckin' y'all's chickens, fryin' Mother's Oats in grease
I's free now, thanks to yo', Massa Lincoln, emancipator of the slaves
Yes, I's finished on y'all farm land with yo' boll weevils and all
And pluckin' y'all's chickens, fryin' Mother's Oats in grease
I's free now, thanks to yo', Massa Lincoln, emancipator of the slaves
Yeah, yeah, yeah, emanci-mother-fuckin'-pator of the slaves
Yeah, yeah, yeah, emanci-mother-fuckin'-pator of the slaves
Four score, I said four score and seven years ago
Oh, sock it to 'em baby, you're sounding better all the time
Our forefathers, I mean all our forefathers
Brought forth upon this here continent a new nation
Oh come on, it's too rock me stokly
Concieved, conceived like we all was
In liberty, and dedicated to the one I love
I mean dedicated to the proposition
That all men, honey, I tell you all men are created equal
Happy birthday, Abie Baby
Happy birthday to you, yeah
Happy birthday, Abie Baby
Happy birthday to you, bang
I bet you look at me and think that I'm a dumb blonde
But you have no idea how far I've actually come from
I've lived right on the edge that I almost became it
I can't believe the things that I've done and I can't change it
Debauchery, the only thing I could count on
Was always looking for a place that I could come from
I tried forgetting all those strangers in dark places
But every time I close my eyes I see their faces
I lost faith in family
I lost faith in love and company
I almost lost faith in everything
And now I've got nothing left to lose
I'm gonna...
Push it good
Push it real good
Sometimes I think I got everything I'd die for
But is it real when you always seem to need more?
I don't rely in empty prophets or false promises
I don't believe in plastic idols, they're all meaningless
I'm not afraid of all the voyeurs and the vultures
I don't believe in all this manufactured culture
Been through enough of that, I know what I want to fight for
I just need someone or something that I can feel for
I lost faith in family
I lost faith in love and company
I almost lost faith in humanity
And now I've got nothing left to lose
I'm gonna...
Push it good
Push it real good
Educated strippers and cross-dressing vicars
Disgusting politicians and animal petitions
X-rated kid shows and dangerous liaisons
Murder mum & dad, the whole family
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters to me
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters to me
Drunk on ego & high on cocaine
Driving really fast with nothing much to say
You like to sleep with Barbie, she never talks back
You like to slap her liposuction thighs
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters to me
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters to me
Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick
Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick
Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick
Incestuous, infectious and totally dependent
You make me sick you make my blood thick
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Alle sind nur fit for fun und schlafen auf der Sonnenbank
Alle sind so obercool bis in die Ohren braungebrannt
Ich gehe meinen Weg und ich spiel das Spiel nicht mit
Denn mir ist das scheiegal wenn man meint ich wr nicht hip
Und mir kann keiner was
Nein - mir kann keiner was
Denn ich bin ich bin ich bin ich
Alle denken nur an jetzt und nicht an morgen und danach
Keiner denkt'n Meter weiter - das Gehirn liegt einfach brach
Ich hre nicht mehr hin wenn sie sagen du bist dick
Die Haare ber die Ohren war seit Jahren nicht mehr so schick
Denn mir kann keiner was
Nein - mir kann keiner was
Denn ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich
Denn ich mag mich wie ich bin, Sich verbiegen macht keinen Sinn
Also lasst mich doch in Ruh, Denkt doch endlich einmal nach und hrt mir zu
Alle labern an mir rum mein Outfit wr nicht mehr modern
Die sehn mich manchmal an als wr ich von nem andern Stern
Hey lernt doch mal zu leben kommt mal zu euch selbst zurck
Lasst andere zufrieden finder Euer eignes Glck
Doch mir kann keiner was
Nein - mir kann keiner was
Denn ich bin ich bin ich bin ich bin ich
Denn ich mag mich wie ich bin, Sich verbergen macht keinen Sinn
Also lasst mich doch in Ruh, Denkt doch endlich einmal nach und hrt mir zu
Heutzutage renn doch alle nur noch aufgescheucht herum
Heutzutage fllst Du auf bist Du laut und schnell und dumm
Ich nehm mir meine Zeit die ich einfach fr mich brauch
Ich steh zu meiner Wampe - Ich steh auf meinen Bauch
Und mir kann keiner was
Nein - mir kann keiner was
She lit a cigarette, both hands behind her back
But she was hungry with the choice of that
Only you can try to see what I'm really like
She said "Only you can understand the way I feel tonight"
She blamed excesses on the American dream
So seldom witnessed, never seen
Imagination, will make a man of you
Imagination, can make me love you too
Imagination, is all I want from you
She lost her virtue before she could write
I lost mine too, on my very first night with you
You'll have to guide me, these impossible schemes
You make me steal unstealable things
She blamed excesses on the American dream
So seldom witnessed, never seen
Imagination, will make a man of you
Imagination, can make me love you too
Imagination, is all I want from you
I-ma-gi-na-tion
She blamed excesses on the American dream
So seldom witnessed, never seen
Imagination, will make a man of you
Imagination, can make me love you too
Imagination, is all I want from you
Imagination
Imagination
You open the door, I let you in
And you gave in to all this sin
We ate oysters and drank coffee
Seashells lined up all through the sea
I could be your heroin
Stop the rain and let me in
I could soothe all the sin
I could be your heroin
I looked over the blue skies
I take you under, I take you there
I sat upon the top of the stairs
I heard, I heard, I wondered why
I could be your heroin
Stop the rain and let me in
I could soothe all the sin
I could be your heroin
Ease the pain, ease the strain (x6)
I could be your heroin
Stop the rain and let me in
I could soothe all the sin
I could be your heroin
I could be your heroine
Stop the rain and let me in
I could be your heroine
I don't want you but I could do without you
Dead babies in a jar on the shelf
I may see you but I could see someone else
I'm like Venus, just with a virus
I am the Goddess on the floor
The daughter, the wife
The vixen whore
I am the Goddess on the floor
The son, the virgin
The fire door
I am the Goddess on the floor
The daughter, the wife
The fire door
There's no meaning to anything
When you are looking for answers
Am I distracting you from the truth?
Everything is entertainment
I am the Goddess on the floor
The daughter, the wife
The vixen whore
I am the Goddess on the floor
The son, the virgin
The fire door
I am the Goddess on the floor
The daughter, the wife
The fire door
Can you see what I see, can you see?
Can you see what I see, can you see?
Can you see what I see, can you see?
