It only hurts me when I'm awake
It seems to die with dreaming
And there's only so much that I can fake
When my whole life's careening down
I will not die
It only kills me 'cause I'm alive
And living this disaster
And it's all I can do now to survive
I live to beat my master down
I will not die
Down, I will not die
When I'm well I long to be
Only in love with you
But I guess, I'll never be whole
And you know it's true
It does not stop me that we all die
I know this trip's to slaughter
But if only I could let me cry
I feel the healing water rollin' down
I will not die
Down I will not die
Down I will not die
When you're my angel I can fly
When you're my angel I can fly
The not so pretty princess was the clown of the class.
She made funny faces so the kids would let her pass.
There was danger of dying at every turn.
¡°don't get caught crying¡± was all that she learned.
And the not so pretty princess was the queen inside her room
And the world was in her closet while she dressed for her groom.
There were angels above her and furs on the floor.
Nobody loved her outside of the door.
And she's so pretty cause she will never be...
She's so pretty to me, to me, to me.
It doesn't matter what everybody sees.
She's so pretty to me.
She's so, so pretty.
She's so, so pretty.
The not so pretty princess met a doctor with a knife.
And he said there was a lot of ways that he could change her life.
And with the nose of a reindeer, the skin of a plum.
But now she'll be lovely, forever look dumb.
And she's so pretty cause she will never be...
She's so pretty to me, to me, to me.
I try to tell her but she just won't believe.
She's so pretty to me.
She's so, so pretty.
She's so...
If she could only see angels above her and fears on the floor.
And she needs to discover she wants more and more and more.
The not so pretty princess was the clown of the class.
She made funny faces when they wouldn't let her pass.
There was danger of dying at every turn.
¡°don't get caught crying¡± was all that she learned.
And she's so pretty cause she will never be...
She's so pretty to me, to me, to me.
It doesn't matter what everybody sees.
She's so lovely when she comes to me.
And she's so pretty cause she will never be...
She's so pretty to me, to me, to me.
I try to tell her but she just won't believe.
She's so pretty to me.
She's so lovely.
She's so pretty to me.
She's so lovely.
The not so pretty princess she will never be...
The not so pretty princess.
So pretty. she's so...
Bah bah bah bah bah.
Teenage girlfriend such a pretty doll,
Teenage girlfriend, met her at the mall.
She likes to go to coffee at the rose cafe.
She has a lot of guy friends but they're all gay.
It's ok teenage girlfriend.
Teenage girlfriend
Westside, westside, girlfriends are the best kind of girlfriend, you know.
Westside, westside, girlfriends are the best kind of girlfriend, you know.
This town's got to shake down to its roots
I don't know if that's the sands or the tropical fruits
I don't believe all the things I see
But I'm still betting on you and me
Chorus:
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
I met a girl who looked like a movie star
She was going for a ride and I don't mean in a car
Had a brain about the size of a frozen pea
And on a scale of one to ten she was twenty-three
A big fat man's gonna make me a king
He's got a see-through tan and a pinky diamond ring
Slicked-back hair shirt to his thigh
Import silk slave labor dyed
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta go get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
The boy whores sell their souls on the boulevard
And that's a shirt-free store where they don't take a credit card
From the hills to the chills its a quick fall down
It's a great big city, it's a real small town
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta go get out of L.A.
Hey, hey baby, we've gotta go. . .
I've seen you in the magazines and I'm really glad you're famous.
It never meant that much to me but now I understand.
The way you walked away from your commitments and your promises.
You know how to play the game you'll never know the way to be a man.
Oh boy you'll never be the man now.
Oh boy, you want to be a star, yeah.
Oh boy, you're only peter pan now.
And you depend on everyone to tell the world exactly what you are.
Well 26 has come and gone, more quickly than it came to you.
Everything you've done before is only in the past.
Well, you should keep a gun nearby, I hope you get the courage.
Dying young is the only way you're ever going to last.
Chorus
You've been fucking for fame since you were 16, everybody knows.
Stolen kisses, something's missing, hey man come or go.
I'll see you at the show.
Oh boy, I see you with your friends now.
Oh boy, pretending you're a star, yeah.
Oh boy, there's no way you can hurt me now.
Ignorance is everything and you've revealed exactly what you are.
You're not some rock star.
You're not some rock star.
You're not some rock star.
She was a faker, I was a fool
I tried to make her, I broke the rule
And over coffee the morning next
I learned the reckless have regrets
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down down
But my God was still coming
Around around
He was a salesman, I was a fool
He had retirement, I had a stool
And over bourbon and a coca cola
I fought the bad guy and I kept my soul
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life can lay me down down
But my God was still coming
Around around around around around
And it's a full house flush
With a bass and a brush
And a subtle soft shade of the cheekbone blade
And the world turns around
The sun that is found to be casually gunning
For life overrunning in heels
He squeals and reveals
God don't cut deals
He was a saviour, I was a child
Programmed behaviour and a santa smile
And over red wine and a little bread
We commune with the divine
And the diva in the priest who'd said
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Boy life lay you down down
But my God was still coming
Around around around around around
And it's a drag queen sheriff of a ghost town probably since the last days of hate
When the mushroom clouds came down
Smoke signaling too late
Cnn broke the blow dry grip
For a flash of the end
Like it's some hot tip
And god
If the last voice I hear on that community screen
Is deeper than yours and doubly as mean
Then the jedi knight was right
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lay you down
Life can lay me down
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life lay me right down oh now down
Life can lay me down
Life can lay me down
Life can lay me down down down down
Life can lay me down
So hard sometimes I even sing like jazz fusion
And it's a full house flush
With a bass and a brush
And a subtle soft shade of the cheekbone blade
And the world turns around
The sun that is found to be casually gunning
For life overrunning in heels
He squeals and reveals
God don't cut deals
Life lays me down
Life lays me down
Life can lay me down
But my God was still coming
Around around around around around
I got a letter today
An invitation
And the writing looked like you
Hello how are you and by the way
Please RSVP I do
I thought of writing sad words of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells will ring pretty well there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby I'll wear the thorny crown
I will play the clown
Chorus:
If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong
And that don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there with a white dress on
Here's my vow to you
I'll stay away
I remember when in a lover's whisper you said
No other man would ever share your bed
Well we both know that's not been so
And I wish I'd never let you go now
You found a better man instead
I wish you health and wealth and a white house on a hill and I
I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl, a little more joy in this little old world
Well, that'd be enough for me
Chorus
Time rolls on
And dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I
And if you're ever wondering if love can be true
Well, think of me and remember darling like I, like I do
Ole friendships fade away, love falls apart
And you've not spent a single day outside my heart
But, there's just one more dream that I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says I do. . .
I do
I do
I do
I do
George died in the fifth grade
No one ever knew why
He was out selling lemonade
On the Fourth of July and he died
Sister Claire said that he was
An angel on earth
She stood there and she told us
She had clearly rehearsed every verse
Of the lies that tie you down
I've forgotten my first love
I haven't seen her since when
There's a bum on the corner
He thinks that I'm his best friend, we pretend
He says the rapture is any day
That's when God's coming around
Although perhaps he should stay away
They'll run him right out of town, like a clown
With the lies that tie you down
There are times when a man feels
That it's him against the world
There are times when a man steals
From the love of his girl
There are days when a beast dies
Long before the gun
And there are days when a crow flies
Can you tell me I want to believe that you want to be with me forever.
I need to know that you won't ever leave and you won't run away from me never.
I've been waiting for a long time for the one who would be mine... I think it's time. Everything's alright, the way that you believe in me. It takes me through the night, I fall besides you softly singing. That I've been waiting for a long time for the one who would be mine, I think it's time.
In the morning I see what you mean cause I don't want make it without you. You've got me dreaming and after you leave when you're gone I'm still thinking about you.
I've been waiting for a long time, for the one who would be mine. I think it's time, I think everything's alright the way that you believe in me. And it takes me through the night... I fall besides you softly singing.
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning
If you say will be mine... I think it's time.
I like to make it with my baby every night..
Everything's alright, every morning when I wake up. I fall into your eyes I want to go I believe we're gonna make it.
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning.
Na na na na na. Tomorrow is another morning.
If you're alone tonight believe me, I've been waiting for you.
Everything's alright.
I can picture me and you
In an mr2
We could go head to the prom
It would be the bomb,
Mr2.
I see us in an mr2
Rhymes, I got a few.
The color's bright and yellow
But we'd rock a groovy mellow
Mr2!
Mr2!
Toyota makes an mr2
I never loved a car
But I'd surely like to start with mr2
(spoken: I got one more)
(spoken: sometimes you gotta go through a whole cycle just to get a chance to rhyme)
(spoken: blah blah, blah blah)
Pretty fancy car
Up on sunset blvd.,
I'm right behind you
Here I come
Let me remind you
You're on the run
My name is death
Come taste my peppermint-laced breath
Come to the party
The price is free
You'll see no purses
Hanging on the fond ladies
(muffled lyrics)
My name is death
Come taste my peppermint-laced breath
My name is death
Come taste my peppermint-laced breath
Everyone grows older
Days fly by
And nights grow colder
Run outside and push your boulder
Try to fight it
Here I told you so
I told you so ---
All nights are diamonds
Behind dark glass
She'll lean to warn me
A quarter pass
My name is death
Come taste my peppermint-laced breath
My name is death
Come taste my peppermint-laced breath
(falsetto)
My name is death
Once in every age a man
Is thrust upon the stage, a plan
Contained within the pages of his mind
Now the way the world has changed
It clearly needs a rearranging
So I claim this destiny as mine
As a boy I recall
Being brilliant but small
I was told I was less than ideal
Now they stare at the man
They don't dare understand
And they ask how does it feel
To be evil
To love death and upheaval
To smile where other men would cry
To be doctor
(dom bom bom bom)
Doctor evil
To be born to take command
And break the backs of all mankind
Why should I try to be good
(bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom)
Who - who would I love if I could?
I'd rule the world
The not-so-pretty princess was the clown of her class
She made funny faces when they wouldn't let her pass
There was danger of dying at every turn
Don't get caught crying was all that she learned
And the not-so- pretty princess was the queen of her room
And the world was in her closest while she dressed for the groom
There were angels above her and pearls on the floor
And nobody loved her outside of the door
And she's so pretty
She will never be
So pretty
But she will never be
She's so pretty to me, yeah
She's so pretty and she will...
And the not-so-pretty-princess met a doctor with a knife
He said there was a lot of ways he could change her life
Then with the nose of a reindeer, the skin of a plum
For now she'll be lovely forever though dumb
And she's so pretty
She will never be
So pretty
But she will never be
She's so pretty to me, yeah, yeah
You're gonna see her places
You're gonna see
You're gonna see her and say
Well I wrote my girl a letter and I sent the thing federal express
Yeah I wrote my babe a letter and I sent the thing federal express
I sent it straight down to hell now ¡®'cause that's my baby's address.
I sat down to write it but for words I was at a loss
Yeah I sat down to write it but for words I was at a loss
Here's what I wrote I hope you think I got my point across
I told her bye bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
See you later
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
Well adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, sayonara, bye-bye
(bitch)
She called me on the phone and asked me could we meet to work it out
Yeah, she called me on the phone and asked me could we meet and work it out
You know I gladly met the girl just so I could have the chance to shout
And tell her bye bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
See you later
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
Well adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, sayonara, bye-bye
She came in to meet me she was walking across the room
Yeah, she came in to meet me she was walking across the room
I was surprised she could make it without a hat and broom
She sat down beside me and she asked me ¡°pretty baby, what's wrong¡±
And I fucking hate it when she called me that
So I went home and wrote this song
I told her bye bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
See you later
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
Well adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, sayonara, bye-bye
I told her bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-buh-bye
Bye bye bye bye good bye
Well adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, sayonara
Tortilla chips
Are on my lips
And no one's pressed
Against my hips
Bad beat poet late at night
The city gets bright I can't see
The neon lights don't work on me
I am no watcher in the fight
Charlie says nobody's got the strange and hidden power and
No one is really beautiful
They're all just mediocre men of the hour
If sex was love I'd be so set
I'd know the most that we could get
I never had the tits and ass
To go and take a master class
Charlie says nobody's got the strange and hidden power and
No one is really beautiful
They're all just mediocre men of the hour
Mediocre models of the hour
Mediocre men
Mediocre men
You take me places and you make cool faces when our sex erases the lonely past and
You found me when I was first and ten against eleven men who could kick my ass
But anyway, it's probably gonna pass
I do not know but it's been said
The hero hogan was found dead
With something wrapped around his head
The price he paid was more than bread
Charlie's says nobody's got the strange and hidden power and
No one is really beautiful
No one is really beautiful
No one is really beautiful
They're all just mediocre men of the hour
They're all just mediocre jokers of the hour
If what you're looking for is an action star
I'm a superstar stud with a formula car
And cleft in my chin and a facial scar, movin' hard
If a squeaky wheel gets the grease
I'm a road hog harley on my hands and my knees
I'm begging for your love please
No one is really beautiful
No one is really beautiful
No one is really beautiful
No one is really beautiful
No one is really beautiful
They're all just mediocre men of the hour
Mediocre men of the hour
Lullaby of bird land that's what I always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland could there be words to reveal in a phrase how I feel
But have you ever seen two turtledoves bill and coo when they love
That's the kind of magic music will make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow, well he knows, he really knows how to cry
And that's how I'll cry on my pillow if you should tell me a willing goodbye
Lullaby of bird land whisper low
One more kiss and then I'll go
Flying off to wordland
High in the sky up above
Just because we're in love
(scats)
Lullaby of bird land whisper low
One more kiss and then I'll go
Flying off to wordland
High in the sky up above
Brad and Suzy lived in a movie
Cardboard cutout superheroes and
Paragons on barstools
She was a professional teller machine user
He was your basic beautiful loser
They had no worries all they ever had was cool
And I wish that I was Brad and Suzy, I really do
I wish that I was stuck on someone
I wish that I was half of a two
I wish that we were like that baby
I wish sometimes you'd love and hate me
Pa-pa-pa-pow
Pa-pa-pa-pow
The Sigma Chis imbibed, decried
And tried to pry him from his
Little Delta Tri-Omega Chi Fi Mu Hoddi Toddi A-D-Pi and Theta
But she wouldn't let them
Idiot
'Cause her heart was as big as the world
And she was his first loving girl
And he swore he'd stand by her forever
And late at night, drunk on wine
They'd fall in bed and intertwine
And they'd make love then like nobody never
And I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
Chorus:
Pa-pa-pa-pow
Pa-pa-pa-pow
I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
I wish that I was in a movie
Brad and Suzy finally took off for the Florida Keys
The better to exercise their collections of clothing by J. Crew
Convertible rabbit a cooler and some coozies
And six years of college course credit they'll probably never use
But I wish that I was Brad or Suzy, I really do
Chorus
This is just the basic, this is not the best
Everybody knows that the trouble starts when you talk all about the rest
First, you went to college and then you got yourself degrees
Then, you got some pretty girls to get down on their knees
You took yourself some pictures and you showed them to your friends
Now, you're going straight to hell and that's where your story ends
Well, one of those girls was a friend of mine
One of those ones you took
One of those girls didn't want to see her face on the cover of a dirty book
One of those girls took her life last night just in case you had not heard
And everybody knows that the pretty ones go down doing it for the work and
Chorus:
Don't be fooled
Don't be flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
When the world around is falling down and every ship's been shattered
Don't be fooled
Don't flattered
It's not like you ever mattered
Not to me
Ah, rick james was the original super freak
Man, you're not so perfect
Man, you're not a pearl
You're nothing more, man, than a little piece of sand
That grew up inside of a girl
I don't go for the novocain
'cause I don't like the pain
And I don't fall for the jesus freaks when they seem like they want to win
Chorus
Bridge:
I'm not looking for an answer anymore
I'm not looking for a visionary
Help me mother mary
I've done my time
I'm closer everyday to a life of crime
The God above us and everywhere he watches all the people die
Killing them as others waste their time in asking why
But, time is all we're given and the happiness we seek
It may be the peace within the meek or maybe the statement of the freak and
I heard nothing but the empty slap of words
That was all I heard when you spoke to me
I ... I ... I want you
You asked me if I knew what a nipple was for
Put me on the floor and then rape me to explore
And I ... I laugh at you
I had much more than I wanted
I found much more than I gave
The lives we live in are too complex for words
And yet we are turds of great colossal birds
In the sky
Way up high
Cock-a-doodle-do
I found much more than I wanted
I got much more than I gave
Mary had a little boy and a little lamb
Who am ... I ... am ... and ... are you?
I got much more than I wanted
Can you still remember
How it seemed that
We could live forever in a lovers dream?
And falling was the best part
But now, you know, the things you cling to
Your heart can start to grow
You, you're walking away
I've been there now, I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday
A silly little love song for myself
It's all I ever do, you know, I shine the shell
A pretty little picture, the face of you
You were my setting sun and now you're every view
You, you're walking away
I've been there now, I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday
Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted
And someday, I'll be over on my own
Believing all the legends of the loves I've known
And seeing you in summer
The way we were when you were seventeen
You know, I much preferred you walking away
I've been here, now I know what to say
I'm the king of Yesterday
Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay with me? Stay
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted
You were the one that I wanted

Red room
Bedroom
Clean sheets
Dark night
Star light
Heat...
First kiss
Near-miss
Holding breath
Her tongue
So young
Dead
I know this is wrong
I have been silent for too long
I know this is wrong
I have been silent for too long
Mommy
Sorry
Had no choice
Daddy
At me
Hear my voice
And I know this wrong
I have been silent for too long
I know this is wrong
I have been silent for too long
Love has so many faces
I don't know what they all mean
They take me many places
But not all of them are clean
Day now
I vow
Never more
I will
Kill
This is war
This is war
This is war
And I know this wrong
I have been silent for too long
I know this is wrong
Everything had to be exactly as you had planned it
Everything had to be exactly as you designed
The sadness inside you was lost on exactly no one
And there's nothing heroic or stoic in bein' a mime
Hey little girl is there room inside your world
For a groom without a pearl or a diamond on his mind
Did you think that for a second on the brink
That you could let me take a drink and bet
That would not climb inside over my primly pride?
Ooh, ooh
See you walkin' down the hall kinda tall
It isn't all like be call and I'm gonna pucker up
And blow you, right out of the seams of your suits
And the dreams will be roots for the teams in cahoots
My demons loving you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There is only so much I can give without return
And maybe a song, maybe a few, maybe not
Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot
And I battered, broken barely hopin' remade token
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
Ooh, ooh
Smoother skinned than most she was and beautiful
And just because I thought I'd be a dooms day gift
I placed the rift, I was callous first and cavalier droppin' verses
She could hear the sad refrain of inner pain
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There is only so much I will give without return
And maybe a song, maybe a few, maybe not
Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot
And I battered, broken barely hopin' remade token
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm gonna grope, I'm gonna grasp because I must
It's my rope and my ass and my doom for my lusting of you
Throw me a thin spider line, I'll be fine
As I climb the mine to my divine
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There is only so much I can give without return
And maybe a song, maybe a few, maybe not
Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot
And I battered, broken barely hopin' remade token
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
It's been a while
I battered, broken barely hopin' remade token
I would crawl back to you and say thanks, I needed that
Well I knew a dealer, dan, and he'd say
"don't worry 'bout me -
I'm never gonna fit the plan
And I'll never work for free"
And then he spent some time in a state penitentiary
I believe he made ten cents an hour
And I knew a girl in college
Sweet as the summer sun
Never worried 'bout books and knowledge
She was having too much fun
And I hear these days she's living at home with a three year old son
Reading up on women taking power
The trees grow high
And the leaves they grow green
And me oh my all the things that I have seen
Don't be surprised little bro
When the world turns out mean
Life is what happens in between
Well I know a man, old man, about ninety five
He could hardly see nor stand
But he was goddamn glad to be alive
And he said, "hey son go and taste of life!
Get in your car and drive."
And that's exactly what I do
But out here on the road
You know a man leads a simple life
Don't carry no heavy loads
Ad he don't get time for the lady or a wife
But sometimes the stars aren't fallin'
Oh no they don't shine so bright
And that's when I wish I was home with you
The trees they grow high
And the leaves they grow green
And me oh my all the things that I have seen
Don't be surprised little bro
When the world turns out mean
Life is what happens in between
Well you remember our dad, remember what he said?
He said, "this here's a family,
Gonna be together 'til we're dead"
Ten years and two homes ago
It ain't quite what turned out to be
And I still hear those words
They ring and ring and ring inside of me
The trees grow high
And the leaves they grow green
And me oh my all the things that I have seen
Don't be surprised little bro
When the world turns out mean
Life is what happens in between
You were there when I was lonely
You were there when I was like a child
You were there and now I only want to see you smile
You were there to sometimes tell me
Walk away, it isn't worth the fight
You where there when I was nothing but a loser in the
night
Nobody wants me now
Take me away
Nobody wants me now
I know I know I know I know
Your love is everything
My love is real
Your love is everything I feel I feel I feel
You my love, my inspiration
My other half, my way to free
Everything I never knew I needed to belong to me
But there are lies and liars
Who have come inside to feed the fires
Screaming louder than a hundred thousand church's
choirs
But you were there when I was lonely
You were there when I was like a child
Nobody wants me now
I know I know I know I know
Your love is everything
My love is real
Your love is everything
I feel I feel I feel I feel
Nobody wants me now
Take me away
Nobody wants me now
I know I know I know I know
Your love is everything
I say my love is real
Your love is everything
I feel I feel I feel I feel
One love of mine is all I need now
You can take the place of everything
You can take the place of everything
You can take the place of everything I see
You can take the place of everything I see
You can take the place of everything I see it's
happening...
Nobody wants me now
Take me away
Nobody wants me now
I know I know I know I know
Your love is everything
My love is real
Your love is everything
I feel I feel I feel I feel
There are those that sleep in bars
And people see the face on Mars
They're hiding under secret stars
But not me
I've been waiting all my life
And out here in the naked night
On stage in front of all the world
I want you girl
I want you girl
In your eyes
I see the sunrise
I know the truth lies somewhere there inside of you
Your eyes
That's where a boy hides
All of my white lies
Melting into something that could be you
Out of England to LA
These pretty singers come, they play
They say they're writing songs for you
But it's not true
Cause when the world was crashing down
And people falling all around
You call me you forgive my sins
And I fell in
I fall into your eyes
I see the sunrise
I know the truth lies somethere there inside of you
Your eyes
That's where a boy hides
All of my white lies
Melting into something that could be you
Your eyes
I see the sunrise
I know the truth lies somewhere there inside of you
Your eyes
That's where a boy hides
All of my white lies
When I was young and pushed around
And beaten up and beaten down
Who'd I run to mama tell me who
And as I grew to be a man
And all the world held such ?lan
I did what I thought I just had to do
It was you mama you, it was you all along
It was you I ran away from I was wrong
And if I could I'd change my life
I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife
And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song
And laid back Kerouac never had no heart attack
Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to
The Moloch is an old man the Moloch is a love-lack
Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack
Mama sometimes and I remember you
It was you mama you, it was you all along
It was you I ran away from I was wrong
And if I could I'd change my life
I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife
And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song
Man loves woman
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for a while
So I can feel at home for a while
Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns
The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds
I found places and traces of a storybook world
And I went out there for a ride
On the misty coast but the holy host
Is under a Mickey D's American flag and it's unfurled
It was you mama you, it was you all along
It was you I ran away from I was wrong
And if I could I'd change my life
I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife
And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song
Man loves woman
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for a while
Here you go
Your eyes are all wet now, you know that I'm lying
I swear I was only protecting your heart
But there are some reasons and also some pictures
Which if you saw they would rip you apart
And I won't watch you cry
Goodbye, I'm an asshole
I'm almost a tall guy and fairly good looking
So people they trust me but sometimes they're wrong
I have often wondered which one was the taller
My old Alexander or Kubla Khan
And would they watch you cry
Goodbye, I'm an asshole
I was a pig and never no good
Now you can see through the streams in your eyes every nickel is wood
Your lines are all fading, your model's all last year
I am still a young man and I need a new car
Your friends will all hate me but I know I'm smarter
I'm in love with a fan and she thinks I'm a star
And she will never, so I won't ever
I won't watch you cry
Goodbye
I won't watch you cry
You, you go to work
Me I'm a jerk
I only sit around the house and play
We, we've been here before
We've shut the door
Upon that monster
He won't go away
But sometimes when you're gone
I sit and write this love song
I was not looking
I was waiting
I've been blind
And you've been standing
Right before me all this time
Tell me I'm a hero
So maybe I can be
I'll cue the choir of angels
All singing I believe
And we can ride up to the sky
Just you and I
Flying away
Don't leave me
Stay, stay, stay
Once upon a time
When you were mine
And everything was falling into place
Now, it's all about
Who's walking out
I cannot even look into your face
But someday when you're gone
I'll sit and write this love song
I was not looking
I was waiting
I've been blind
And you've been standing
Right before me all this time
Don't tell me I'm a hero
Cause I could never be
I'll cue the choir of angels
All singing I believe
And we will ride up to the sky
Just you and I
Flying away
Don't leave me
Stay, stay, stay
Someday when you're gone
Do I have to do sit-ups, if I want to be a rock star?
Do I have to make millions, if I want to be free?
Should I come with a cliché?
Should I hide in a big car?
You say the money doesn't matter.
Well, let's check and see.
Cause you look sexy.
You look fine.
How I wish that you were mine.
You look sexy.
You look hot.
Is that really all you got?
In the end, you pretend, you're my friend but you're not.
Tell me that I'm going to be the king of the world.
I know it's never going to happen but if you could be mine.
I will wake in the morning and I'll look at your beautiful face.
I know it's going to be a wonderful day.
Did you want to be a hooker?
Or did you want to be a model?
Well, did you want to be famous?
Did you want to be free?
I can see that you're a looker, but keep your love in a bottle.
And your skimpy clothes will go a long, long way with me.
You look sexy.
You look fine.
How I wish that you were mine.
You look sexy.
You look hot.
Is that really all you got?
In the end, you pretend, cause I don't want to stop.
Chorus
Through the smog the sky is blue and angels all were sinners too.
And baby I'll be good to you.
If you tell me what you want I'm going to do that to you.
Chorus
It's going to be a wonderful day.
Look at your beautiful face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Take a look around, baby tell me what you see
'Cause what you see is what you found
What you found is what you need
Life is hard, there's a feeling on the Boulevard
Everybody's got to play a final card
A way to go do the deed
Throw the punches like Apollo Creed
'Cause there's a bunch of ways to make it bleed, I know
Well, the words of the prophets are no longer
Written on the subway walls, one of them lost his hair
The other publishes poetry here and there
And that is all but, the things you said to me
I cannot forget although I try
To ignore the space beside me
Where we used to love and you would lie
She gets the feeling
She gets the feeling
Up through the ceiling is the only view
As I was walking out the door, she said, "See
You don't want to go around the world with me"
Anyway, the San Francisco blues
It was a piece of news to me
It was a little blue book
And a night time nook of Zen philosophy
Late at night, a man desires a woman
White, black, tan, but the fires are flamed
By names and traces and the places and the faces
And it's all the same in the morning game when
She gets the feeling
She gets the feeling
Up through the ceiling is the only view
As I was walking out the door, she said, "See
Why don't you wanna come around the world with me"
Everyday I climb the mountain
And everyday I drive a car
Every night I turn the lights off
It goes too far
Woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh, woh
She gets the feeling
She gets the feeling
Up through the ceiling is the only view
She says, "Baby, I just can't believe
You don't wanna come around the world with me"
She gets the feeling
She gets the feeling
She gets the feeling
Well there's a reason
Why I'm talking to myselft
And there's a reason
Why I should be someone else
Well I'm drowing
You know I'm sinking like a stone
You see me drowning
Would you please pick up the phone
I only wanted everything I never had
Everything is broken and it keeps on getting bad
Save me
Save me
There's a reason why I'm talking to myself
There's a reason why I should be someone else
I only wanted everything I never had
Everything is broken and it keeps on getting bad
Save me
Save me
I got this feeling now for the first time in my life
You opened up that door
And when I fall you let me crawl inside
Are you gonna try
Cause I could shine
When I'm down
You come around
Come on along
Inside the dream
And you can fall into the feeling
That we never die
Come on along
Inside the dream
There's a little piece up of mind up in my room tonight
And if you ever want to run
From everything that you have become
Call on me I will be waiting
Run to my room
I've met a few
I never met someone like you
You make me try again
Merci
And every day is like a cloud
And every night you fight the crowd and run away again
With me
If you ever want to run
From everything that you have become
Call on me I will be waiting
Run to my room
Come to my room
If you ever want to run
From everything that you have become
Call on me I will be waiting
Run to my room
I guess I make my way okay, I guess I do
I guess I get by just like you
I'm keeping to myself though, if you don't mind
I don't want to leave any fingerprints
Moving down the boulevard, the walk of fame
The Japanese they're up against it
Trying to match their hand sizes with the household names
And I just try to bob and weave
And keep from bumping into furry fairy prostitutes
And, and make it to the corner gonna lose myself inside outside news
And I remember when I first had come to town
And you suggested, I kneel and kiss the ground
You were such a prophet then to me
And you, you're nothing to me
Nobody wants to help when you start with a please
To supplicate is not the way
You've got to put the other man down on his knees
But that's not why I arrived, no that was not the reason
Don't mind if I retire from a town without one just like a season
I remember when I first had come to town
And you suggested I kneel and kiss the ground
You were such a prophet then to me
And you, you're nothing to me
Waltzing slowly in
Counter time to your piercing cameras before me
Moving closer I've
Come to know that there's nothing in there to show me
Pretty good show she said
I kinda like your style
Well, maybe we could go to bed
And I could help you run the three-minute mile
But first you gotta take the drinks you gotta learn to fake the smiles
She was a piece of past her prime real estate a late great tit turnstile
I remember when I first had come to town
And you suggested I kneel and kiss the ground
You were such a prophet then, to me
And you, you're nothing to me
I remember when I first had come to town
And you suggested I kneel and kiss the ground
I'm just not ready for this conversation
I do much better on a take home test
And when you dwell upon my well of reservation
You're like a butterfly, a pretty pest
This is more work than it looks like
This is more than sex and talk
Sometimes you close your eyes before the flight
And you're the perfect plank for me to walk
Don't do that thing where you can rip apart my insides
'Cause that's a power I gave to you in faith
I sure don't need another bone-filled closet
Don't need another woman that I love to hate
This is more work than it looks like
This is more than sex and talk
This is something I tried to fight
But you're the perfect plank for me to walk
To walk... to walk
I guess it's true that I still keep you in some
darkness
There are some places I must go by myself
You do it too you know, you're never in my harness
You should be glad sometimes that I'm somebody else
This is more work than it looks like
This is more than sex and talk
Sometimes you close your eyes before the flight
And you're the perfect plank for me to walk
This is more work than it looks like
This is more than sex and talk
This was something I tried to fight
I'm not immune so I commune
With the objects in my home
I am caressed by my razor
And so am not alone
I spoon an oversize pillow
Which I bought for just that use
And to the flowers in my garden
I am lover, not recluse
If you my dear were such a flower
You would stay and only grow
And I would tend to you and water baby
And straight up would you go
You would spread and maybe blossom
With each passing summer's day
And not the suitors from a hundred hives
Could draw your love away
Then as autumn
Shut the light down in advance of winter's bite
According to true lovers' creed you would not die
But go to seed
For so it is with paper towels
And other things about my place
The old begets the new
And the things I need keep up to pace
But you, my dear, you're gone forever
You left no silly seed behind
Save a rotten pit it lingers
Cherry (tomb)stone in my mind
You're not a paper towel
You're like the wind go howling
You fled as if the autumn greys
Were the heralds of final days
Uprooting with your seeds and all cruel harvest
Of love's first fall
You're not a paper towel
No no
You're like the wind go howling
Owoooooo
Can't wrap you around my dowel
No no
You're like the wind go howling
Owoooooo
Bring her back for me little bo peep
This town's got to shake down to its roots
An' I don't know if that's the sands or the tropical fruits
I don't believe all the things I see
But I'm still betting on you and me
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
I met a girl who looked like a movie star
She was going for a ride and I don't mean in a car
Had a brain about the size of a frozen pea
And on a scale of one to ten she was twenty-three
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
A big fat man's gonna make me a king
He got a see-through tan and a pinky diamond ring
Slicked-back hair, shirt to his thigh
Import silk slave, labor dyed
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta go get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
A tattoo is a popular accoutrement
They come in red and in blues and it says anything you want
And some folks say you gonna regret
But the 'some days' haven't come around just yet
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta go get out of L.A.
Hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
The boy whores sell their souls on the boulevard
And that's a shirt-free store where they don't take credit cards
From the hills to the chills it's a quick fall down
It's a great big city, it's a real small town
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta go get out of L.A.
Hey hey baby, we've gotta go get out of
Money makes the world go round
Money makes
And money takes
Money makes the world go round
Money makes
Money breaks
Even when the sun goes down
Money makes
Money takes
Tell me have you finally found
Money makes
Your big mistakes
And turns them in to great escapes
Money money money
I believe in perfect love
I believe in God above
People standing by my side
Telling when
Telling why
It's older than the oldest song
It's always right
It's always wrong
Money makes the world go round
Money makes
Money takes
Money makes the world go round
Money makes
Money breaks
Money money money
Come and take a chance on me
It's easier if you believe
That there's a large amount
In my bank account
Run away with me into a dream
It's easier if you can just believe
You and I could have a large amount
Lover come and set me free from my restrain
Tear the rags away they bind me
Stare me down and cut me deeply to the bone
Give me every tooth and blind me
You are Madonna, you Lady Divine
You are part Mother Theresa and a valentine
Some man's pariah and a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire and I fly to my hope
Mother teaching me now lessons from the past
In faded photo albums lying open on the floor
She heals me with a Nikon camera captured laugh
And with a wink she sets me free forever more
So consume me now and burn me to the marrow
Heat me up like the world can never do
Tear my heart out from my body if you have to and
Then swallow me to prove that I am you
You are Madonna, you are lady divine
You are part Mother Theresa and a valentine
Some man's pariah and a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire and I fly to my...
You are Madonna
You're lady divine
You are part Mother Theresa and a valentine
Some man's pariah and a slippery slope
But to me you are the fire and I fly to my
I will fly away
I'll fly
I will take these wings and fly away
I'll take these
Hey, hey, hey America
Hey there goes the USA
Money wants to make you pay
Sex, cars, ladies, bars
Come on, come on, take a drink
Well I don't believe what the world wants me to
You know love love love is all you should be thinking
It's the only thing that gets me through
Love love love is all you should be thinking of
The Buddah, the Gita, the Jesuit too
Yeah Elron, Santa Claus, me and you
Love love love is all you should be thinking of
The California highway is like a road into a supernova
People say they're driving but they really want to run
you over
Kissing and hugging, I'm missing your loving
Why why why do you have to tell a lie
Tell me how you really feel
No one ever got that prize trying just to stay alive
Tell me what you want
Tell me what's your deal
And don't you believe what the world wants me to
You know love love love is all you should be thinking
It's the only thing that you can do
Love love love is all you should be thinking of
Everybody cries
Everybody bleeds
Everybody wants
Everybody needs
Love love love is all you should be thinking of
The California highway is like a road into a supernova
People say they're driving but they really want to run
you over
Kissing and hugging, I'm missing your loving
Way down in soho town
Where the lovely people love to be
And they all write all their best lines down
And they hope their hair turns white like andy
There's a man who was almost king
He was lionized when they left the ring
And some time away was soon the end
And the truth is there's no one you can depend on
And love, I know you're gone for good
I can't go back, but I know I should
A boticellian beauty was with a body of jelly and a boot there because she turned the corner
She turned some heads and
Before it was cool she wore black and blue keds
Sit and spin his old thirty threes
It was groovy again to know
Chucky's in love with a friend
You can fall in the arms of each other
And nothing is like that brother
And love, I know you're gone for good
I can't go back, but I know I should
Love is larger than letters
Taking up his sword again
It was a mont-blanc monogrammed pen
And he wielded the power of his phd
While he sat there
And glouded his green screen tragedy
And love, I know you're gone for good
I can't go back, but I know I should
Love, I know you're gone for good
I can't go back, but I know I should
The way you simply say my name
No one can ever do the same
No one can ever make me feel I'm not alone
I'm waiting for you to come home
I'm waiting for you to come home
He's waiting for you to come home
I'm waiting for you to come home
Can you still remember
How it seemed that
We could live forever in a lovers dream?
And falling was the best part
But now, you know, the things you cling to
Your heart can start to grow
You, you're walking away
I've been there now, I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday
A silly little love song for myself
It's all I ever do, you know, I shine the shell
A pretty little picture, the face of you
You were my setting sun and now you're every view
You, you're walking away
I've been there now, I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday
Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted
And someday, I'll be over on my own
Believing all the legends of the loves I've known
And seeing you in summer
The way we were when you were seventeen
You know, I much preferred you walking away
I've been here, now I know what to say
I'm the king of Yesterday
Why don't, why don't, why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay? Why don't you stay with me? Stay
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You are the one that I want
Take a little time, throw it on the line
Let me believe that you believe in me
Baby, turn around, look at what I found
You were the one that I wanted
You were the one that I wanted
And if you wed another
I would have to kill you.
Both in bed my lover
I would rather see you dead and under covers then in front of the world.
And exposing for all others, skin in which I curled.
I would be your indian lover.
I would be your indian lover.
I would be your indian lover boy.
Feel my joy.
And if you touch a man then you can fully expect I will abort my plan to woe you so circumspect.
I'll cross the gate of hell and sell what is left then of my soul
And in exchange I'll lay away my dying role.
Chorus
Aesthetic discipline and caked in mud
I would go down in the river wading in, controlling the flow.
Not eating a stitch of meat, nowhere, no leather on my back
Until I knew which one was better, the love or the lacking.
If you go at last and leave me here
I will slowly run the gas into the invisible and fingering the match
I'll strike one mortal final blow for every fool dispatched I'll retire in my burning inferno.
Chorus
Hush now my love nobody's dying
Above, above your God is crying
Life is long lassie and remember
Your loves live on in every ember
And if you need somebody
If you need
If you need somebody
How 'bout me?
Your only consolence is laughter
You store the rest up in the rafters
I only want you to be free
And the road I know is with me
And if you need somebody
If you need
I will be there
I am unfettered by the wear of worlds
And weather is for me the only season
Hush now my love nobody's dying
Above, above your God is crying
I will be there I'm at your side
I'll stop the rivers when you cry
And if you need somebody
If you need
If you need somebody
Welcome to my world, won't you please find a seat
There's no need to worry, I'm the only one to meet
I just wanted to express myself to you
Hey, undiluted and with nobody else to confuse
See I was Marvin Gaye and Bond, James Bond
I was taking all day, so I could turn you on
And I hated when you'd look away
When I was inside and slowly getting to it
It didn't help a lot when you would turn around and I was
On the top and you would say, baby, you can do it
I'm sorry now, and it's too late
I'm sorry now, do you have to hate me
I'm sorry now, so sorry, yeah
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I hate spaghetti and I also hate divorce
You probably already know that but then of course
I like the earthquakes, I like it when the world shakes
I like the cracks, it takes out of the walls
When two people, lovers, are acting like dolls
In the arms of each other, that's my alarm
I'm sorry now, and it's too late
I'm sorry now, do you have to hate me
I'm sorry now, so sorry, yeah
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I wished you love
Life is so unkind, you can fall behind
You know that I'm inclined to ease your mind anytime
So welcome, baby, I wondered when your countenance would change
From sunshine and vanilla to the raven tones of rage
And my back never looked so broad to you
As now it turned upon the fool who spurned me
I'm sorry now, and it's too late
I'm sorry now, and you have to hate me
I'm sorry now, so sorry, yeah
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I wished you love
I wish you wished, I still was in love with you
You've got such a pretty smile
It's a shame the things you hide behind it
Let 'em go
Give it up for a while
Let 'em free and we will both go find it
I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
I know that you do not feel invited
But, come back, come back in from the cold
Tell me how you really feel
Tell me what is on the inside of you
All the somethings you conceal
Only keep away the ones who love you
Step away then from the edge
Your best friend is life is not your mirror
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
Back away, come away
I am here and I will be forever
I know there's nowhere you can hide it
I know the feeling of alone
Trust me and don't keep that on the inside
Soon you'll be locked out on your own
You're not alone
You're not alone
And don't say you've never been told
I'll be with you 'til we grow old
'til I'm in the ground and I'm cold
I'm not sitting up here on some throne
Like a dog you can always come home
Dig up a bone
I got a letter today, an invitation
And the writing looked like you
Hello, how are you and by the way
Please RSVP I do
I thought of writing sad words of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells will ring pretty well there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby, I'll wear the thorny crown
I will play the clown
If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong
And that don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there with a white dress on
Here's my vow to you, I'll stay away
I remember when in a lover's whisper you said
No other man would ever share your bed
Well, we both know that's not been so
I wish, I'd never let you go now
You found a better man instead
And I wish you health and wealth and a white house on a hill
And I, I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl, a little more joy in this little old world
Well, that'd be enough for me
If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong
And that don't matter now anyway
I couldn't bear to see you up there with a white dress on
Here's my vow to you, I'll stay away
Time rolls on and dreams they die
And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I
But if you're ever wondering if love can be true
Well, think of me and remember baby, like I, like I do
Old friendships fade away, love falls apart
But you've not spent a single day outside my heart
And, there's just one more dream that I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says
You're picture was in the news
A piece of paper my friends have burned but it refused
And though you wore a smile
The muscles that you flexed too much looked tired after a while
And you always forced your style
I wrote you love notes
I pulled you from fights
I even dug moats
So I could swim at night
To my homerun hilary.
I had my time to brood
But never had the courage I was never in the mood
But when you jumped from the car
I fell from love with you and knew I'd leave you where you are
Where you'll always be a star
With a black eye
And a white hat
You're such a good guy
With a baseball bat
It's my homerun hilary
My homerun hilary
Well I'd only just begun
To live again and be my own best friend and now you come
A vampire must be fed
But uh-oh I'm unwilling to be bled
It took a fast pitch
On the inside
And like a white witch
On a mercy ride
It's my homerun hilary
My homerun hilary
Swing for the sky
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Wait
I've got a new conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Can you tell me I want to believe that you want to be with me forever.
I need to know that you won't ever leave and you won't run away from me never.
I've been waiting for a long time for the one who would be mine... I think it's time. everything's alright, the way that you believe in me. it takes me through the night, I fall besides you soft
Nging. that I've been waiting for a long time for the one who would be mine, I think it's time.
In the morning I see what you mean cause I don't want make it without you. you've got me dreaming and after you leave when you're gone I'm still thinking about you.
I've been waiting for a long time, for the one who would be mine. I think it's time, I think everything's alright the way that you believe in me. and it takes me through the night... I fall besi
Ou softly singing.
Na na na na na. tomorrow is another morning
Na na na na na. tomorrow is another morning
If you say will be mine... I think it's time.
I like to make it with my baby every night..
Everything's alright, every morning when I wake up. I fall into your eyes I want to go I believe we're gonna make it.
Na na na na na. tomorrow is another morning.
Na na na na na. tomorrow is another morning.
If you're alone tonight believe me, I've been waiting for you.
You sheltered me from harm
You kept me warm, you kept me warm
You gave my life to me
You set me free, you set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the ones I spent with you
I would give anything I own
Give up my life and my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
And what it's of, what it's of
You never said too much but still you showed the way
So I knew from watching you
Nobody else can ever know
The part of me that can't let go
And I would give anything I own
I give up my life and my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again
Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they'll never hear the words you have to say
And I would give anything I own
I give up my life and my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Everything I own
My life, my heart, my home
I'd give everything I own
My life, my heart, my home
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little, every little thing you ever wanted
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little, every little thing you ever wanted
Every little thing
Every little thing
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible] back again
I wrote this song to keep from killing myself
It was all I had left when they said you've found
someone else
I know it's not cool to reveal I almost died
But I'm tired and I know you never liked me when I lied
If this is the end of my rainbow I need to know
I want to be free from every chain
If I'm going to die before I find my pot of gold
Come on keep on raining
I've been around the world I've seen a couple things
I recall words of wisdom dangling from their puppet
strings
If rain comes down the way they say it does in song
Then I was wrong and I've been waiting for the punch
line way too long
If this is the end of my rainbow I need to know
I want to be free from every chain
If I'm going to die before I find my pot of gold
Come on keep on raining
All that I need is a
river running over me
I want to be beautiful again
And in time I will shine
Underwater I will be divine
Come on keep on raining
Keep on raining
I'm dreaming of you
I'm dreaming of you
I had a dream of you and me
We were together
I know it'll happen
I know it'll happen never, ever
I'm dreaming of you
I'm dreaming of you
When I awoke to the joke that is my life
The sun's bright rays took me away from you
I know we'll meet between the sheets
And my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet
I'm dreaming of you
I'm dreaming of
I'm dreaming of you
Babe I'm leaving the country
You know I just gotta go
This record company bull-shit
They break my heart, they rape my soul
And they're only after the dollar
And they're dollars, they're dollars
They're house in the hills
I'm gonna break free of this saccharine sunshine
Go my way to where the blood can spill
So come on down to Cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your jungle hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
I'm gonna go down to Cuba
I'm gonna make me some brand new friends
I'm gonna wait for the country to open
And when the music-mother-fuckers try to move right in
I'm gonna be there already waiting
With my long-range rifle and a perfect plan
And when they're all walking on the guitar mat
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I slip the key under the door I'm like a labratory mouse.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
No need to tussle, no need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle.
I got a gal that lives real close.
you know, I got a gal that lives real close.
And that's the best thing in the world, like french toast.
Once you get a slice, it's nicer than the whole loaf.
No need to tussle, No need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights Shuffle.
Late at night,A man desires a woman white, black, tan,
but the fires are flamed by
The names and traces and the places and the faces
but it's all the same in the morning game.
I got no need to tussle, I got no need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's house.
I slip the key under the door I'm like a labratory mouse.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle to my baby's...
No need to tussle, no need to fussle.
I do the Crescent Heights shuffle.
Shuffle
Shuffle
Babe I'm leaving the country
You know I just gotta go
This record company bull-shit
They break my heart, they rape my soul
And they're only after the dollar
And they're dollars, they're dollars
They're house in the hills
I'm gonna break free of this saccharine sunshine
Go my way to where the blood can spill
So come on down to cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your jungle hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
I'm gonna go down to cuba
I'm gonna make me some brand new friends
I'm gonna wait for the country to open
And when the music-mother-fuckers try to move right in
I'm gonna be there already waiting
With my long-range rifle and a perfect plan
And when they're all walking on the guitar mat
I'm gonna say ¡°i want my wham, bam, thank you,¡± and
So come on down to cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your drunken hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
You know that I'm right
Sometimes we have to run
To fight.
So come on down to cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your jungle hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
Come on down to cuba,
Come play in the sand.
I am a man
Tell me if I'm doing wrong
I would rather you be gone
Than to be hanging on
Please understand
This is not a game I play
I believe in anyway
No matter what you say
This is our breakup song
And even when we got along
I know that something so good can't be true
This is my last confession
Ever since my first impression
I was planning to abandon you
Open your heart
Here's the part where I pretend
My devotion doesn't end
And we can still be friends
Playing the part
Put your makeup on just right
I will take you out tonight
There is no need to cry
This is our breakup song
And even when we got along
I know that something so good can't be true
This is my last confession
Ever since my first impression
I was planning to abandon you
Open your eyes
While I present the prize
No one changes even though we hope they will
Now walk away
Do not waste another day
This is your life
This is not a drill
This is our breakup song
And even when we got along
I know that something so good can't be true
This is my last confession
Ever since my first impression
I was planning to abandon you
Brad and Suzy lived in a movie
Cardboard cutout superheroes and paragons on barstools
She was a professional teller machine user
He was your basic beautiful loser they had no worries
All they ever had was cool
And I wish that I was Brad and Suzy, I really do
I mean wish that I was stuck with someone
I wish that I was a half of a two, I wish that we were like that baby
I wish sometimes you'd love and hate me too
Pa, pa, pa, pow, pa, pa, pa pow
The Sigma Chis imbibed, decried and tried to pry him from his
Little Delta Tri-Omega Chi Fi Mu Hoddi Toddi A-D-Pi and Theta
But she wouldn't let them Idiot 'cause her heart was as big as the world
And she was his first loving girl And he swore
He'd stand by her forever, yeah
Late at night, drunk on wine
They'd fall in bed and intertwine
And they'd make love then like nobody never
And I wish that I was Brad and Suzy, I really do
I mean wish that I was stuck on someone
I wish that I was a half of a two, I wish that we were like that baby
I wish sometimes you'd love and hate me too
I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
I wish that I was in a movie
Brad and Suzy finally
Took off for the Florida Keys the better to exercise their
Collections of clothing by J. Crew, convertible rabbit
A cooler and some cozies and six years of college course credit
They'll probably never use
But I wish that I was Brad or Suzy, I really do
I mean wish that I was stuck with someone
I wish that I was a half of a two, I wish that we were like that baby
I wish sometimes you'd love and hate me too
I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
I wish that I was in a movie
I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
I wish that I was in a movie
I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
I wish that I was in a movie
I wish that I was Brad or Suzy
I wish that I was in a movie
Well, I wish that I was Brad or Suzy, I really do
You know wish that I was stuck with someone
I wish that I was a half of two, I wish that we were like that little baby
I wish sometimes you'd love and hate me too
Another day has passed
In this love affair that we swear now will ever last
Another night is here
And you will kiss me darkly I will hold you close my
dear
But how many dreams can I
Unravel in the morning before I have to face you
How many seams can I
Destroy by tearing off your underwear as if I chase you
When all my life I have heard
You should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve
So I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
Here comes hot Johnny again
That boy can ride the lightning and then go home and
eat again
He's everything I'll never be
He's got the feathered hair and a lot of things the
ladies see
Got him an albatross love
She wraps them wings around you ten feet long of downy
love
And holding on so goddamn tight
She makes a man make plans she makes him fly away at
night
All my life I have heard
You should only be a verb
Now you're more than I deserve
So I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me
How many teardrops can I
Pretend to shed on each occasion that a man's supposed
How many innocent die
Before be both admit we never care unless we're close
How many wishes are left
Before we both admit it isn't getting better
How many dishes are left
Before you call it quits and cease to be the willing
wedder
When all my life I have heard
You should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve
So I'll be leaving
And no black Superman is gonna come and save me this
time
All my life I had heard
You should only be a bird
Now you're more than I deserve
So I'll be leaving
I was in love and I wanted to stay
And it wasn't enough and I wandered away
I was wrong
I was not ready for the altar
Fantasy often leads to falter
I was wrong
I was a fool
But I was strong
And I was cruel
It doesn't matter
She's only looking at you
I remember the way that we were with her
I was happy but now I'm invisible blue
Beware the beautiful loser
Lying beside me as close as a kiss
First we were fighting and then we were this
And I knew nobody ever wants the sad guy
She ran away
Into your arms
Who could I blame
Look at your motorcycle
It doesn't matter
She's only looking at you
I remember the way that we were with her
I was happy but now I'm invisible blue
Beware the beautiful loser
Beware the beautiful guy
Breaking hearts
Fixing cars
Down on the boulevard
It doesn't matter
She's only looking at you
I remember the way that we were with her
I was happy but now I'm invisible blue
I asked you for a ride
I was lonely
And hoping to see you before I left town
You said, "i'm sorry, I'd like to,
If only I had had the time ...
Maybe next time around."
And I walked for miles
And carried my bags
On streets with no sidewalks
In search of a ride
It was me and a baby ruth
A chewy chunk of chocolate truth
And here from the bus,
I would like to say thanks
Thank you.
I had imagined a breakfast of coffee and muffins
Maybe some cinnamon toast
But if I believed I would gain your attendance
I could have provided the holy host
And I walked for miles
In search of a ride
On streets with no sidewalks
And carried my bags
It was me and a baby ruth
A chewy chunk of chocolate truth
And here from the bus,
I'd just like to say thanks
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
Not.
Two seats behind me, reclining
An angel is peering at me now from under a book
She catches me staring and smiles to the window
Again, I'm in love and with only a look
And it must be it's true, I am free
And last night I burned, you know who spoke to me
Say "welcome the solitude, it's your family tree"
And you would have been only a heaven
At noon I will fly to my city, my prison
And you will be forever gone from my life
And soon I'll deny any lingering vision
Of me in some catalogue and you as my wife
'cause I walked for miles
I in search of a ride
On streets with no sidewalks
And steel muddy banks
It was me and a baby ruth
A chewy chunk of chocolate truth
And here from the bus,
I'd just like to say thanks
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
I was walking down the road
Carrying in a heavy load
Feeling and believing that I might have been a prince through it
But no ...
... had all I can use of your silly teaching
Had all I can use of your silly preaching
And here's the news I'll make it on my wiles
All I really need is some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
It must be nice to be boy genius
In your paradise you got the only penis
I know it's true I can't hypotheticalise
All I really need is some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
Some shoes my size, nine, five
Shoes my size
I don't do much in the way of praying
And I'm out of touch with religious sayings
I think your cross is just a little too wide
All I really need is some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
Some shoes my size
Some shoes my size, nine, five,
She was the only light I knew
She was the real
Sometimes I need to get away and deal
This is the only way I know
This is the real
Sometimes I need to take a day and heal
All I want to do is fall in love with you
Every problem that I have
I want the good, I want the bad
And all I want to do is fall in love with you
Laying beside me you were closer than a kiss
Then we were fighting and the next thing this
All I want to do is fall in love with you
Every problem that we have
I want the good, I want the bad
And all I want to do is fall in love with you
Everything I did was wrong
Everything you said was true
I've been hiding way too long
All I really want is you
If I walked out on the waters of the ocean
Would you follow or complain
My emotion is it rain...
Everything I did was wrong
Everything you said was true
I've been hiding way too long
All I really want is you
All I want to do is fall in love with you
Every problem that we have
I want the good, I want the bad
And all I want to do is fall in love with you
Everything I did was wrong
Everything you said was true
I've been hiding way too long
