Wenn du en et Fernsehn wills, jarkei Problem,
dann musste nur schräg sinn, berühmp oder schön.
Wenn du nix zo saare häss, triff sich perfekt.
Paar Phrase jenüje, maach einfach op nett
un lääsch dich nie met dämm Jastjeber ahn,
dämm Telepompter-jelenkte, dä kann
bestemme, wer ahnkütt, wer keine Stech kritt,
wann bei ihm jelaach weet, un wann applaudiert,
wer he jewennt un wer he verliert.
Die nevven dir es achzehn un eijentlich zo deck,
die hätt für et Guinessbooch irjendjet jestrick.
Dä jäjenövver hätt jraad en Serje jedrieht,
ne Blinde ess mongoloid, wie mer sieht.
Dä em graue Pullover ess vun irjendner Partei.
Dä kennt mer, dä ess en jeder Talk Show dobei,
dä sprich immer druckreif, politisch korrekt,
en Miss Silikon hätt noch janix jecheckt,
et heiß, die wööt nähx Johr als Weltstar entdeckt.
Un - obligatorisch - ess einer pervers,
sne Quoten-Exot, dä muss sinn, dat steht fess, en der
Talk Show, spät nahx en der
Talk Show. Diss Naach besste
endlich en der Daily Late Night Show.
Die Strickerin grins blöd, dä Serjenheld lallt,
dä hätt jraad et drittemohl et selve verzallt.
Em Publikum hällt wer e T-shirt en et Bild,
en Batik steht do:" Der Regenwald stirbt."
Dä Graue es betroffen, die Miss ess schockiert,
en Busladung Nonne uss Trier randaliert,
dä Serienheld schlööf jetz, dä Talkmaster schwaad.
Du frööchs dich, ob du he schon ei Woot jesaat.
Nä du un dä Sado, ihr wohrt noch nit draan,
dä Blinde ess och taubstumm, säht suwiesu nix,
dä ess nur he für et Mitleid. Wat soll et ? Er sitz en der
Talk Show, spät nahx en der
Talk Show. Diss Naach besste
endlich en der Daily Late Night Show.
Verjess, wer du bess un wofür du sons lääfs.
Wat heiß he " Jeschmack" ? Wat willste ?... Du bess en der Talk Show.

The whole world is watching me
As I light up the TV screen
My life's a parade
But I've got it made
I hope everyone will see
I want my ratings to go up
I hope you all wish me luck
I'll act like I care
About your welfare
And I'll pretend I'll stay in touch
I want to be on your good side
I've got nowhere else to hide
Everything that you hear
May not be sincere
At least my voice is amplified
I think my credibility has gone away
The colors on your television will turn gray
I'll make a living while i exploit everyone
I never thought this way of life would be so fun
Please come onto my talk show

Nothings on TV and I don't care, gonna watch a talk show I don't care, all these topics mostly blow my mind, always feel i'm just a step behind and we go, go-go Jenny Jones and Ricky Lake, all these tabloid shows are always fake, how much more of this shit can I bare, listen to the hand but don't go there. (Jerry - "Some of that we can't show on the air"). Nothing left this time when i'm alone, too intense to even answer the phone, make'em over they look like a freak, even though they did it twice last week and we go, go-go Jenny Jones and Ricky Lake, all these tabloid shows are always fake, how much more of this shit can I take.

Settle down you know, you got a ways to go
Moving slowly gets you by
Settle down now, you'll be around now
After all your flowers die
Trees grow from the silence
Of the earth and never speak
Thoughts that come from
Underneath are pure and never weak
And you have lived for so long
You have lived for so long
Have regrets you will, it's only natural
Have them till the day you die
Having doubts now, you'll come about now

Everybody wants an invitation
Ring twice, evidently no one?s home
Sweaty maple like a meditation
Ring twice evidently no one?s home
Mesh rhyme with reason is a notary stone
Best time of season is when nobody?s home
Every time I get less, I want more
Every time I get less, than
Everybody wants a celebration
Ring twice evidently, no one?s home
Grain of salt is like a purification
Seaside, everybody omits time to go
Ring high evidently starts the show
Meantime, everybody commits try and try
Fly by, setting it back, works the go
Seaside, everybody commits
Meantime, everybody omits
Seaside, everybody commits
Meantime, everybody omits

I wouldn't wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
I wouldn't wanna make
You feel uncomfortable
Only wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
But I wouldn't wanna make
You feel uncomfortable
I got a feeling we're holding back the tide
I got a feeling we may never show
All the love we hide, will soon be mine
Long time ago
I wouldn't wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
I wouldn't wanna make
You feel invulnerable
Only wanna tell you
How much you make me feel
But I wouldn't wanna make
You feel invulnerable
What I feel is, what I fear Is

She has the smile of perfect splendor
She'll let you think that you can win her
Broken beauty wearing super glue
She lies so good and she believes them too
Hello, hello, hello, hello
She's got a checkered reputation
Lives two lives in syncopation
Fractured fairy on the funny page
Southern belle she's on a northern stage
Hello, hello, hello, hello
She has it right, she lives two lives
Say the list is long, call the missing song

I wish, I could write a song just for you
I don't know how
It's when you're away, these walls show years
I do know why
One hundred eyes have opened on you
Where do you sleep?
It's when I'm alone at the end of your feet
I do know why
Tomorrow it's better
To know you have said
Tomorrow show something
Else instead
Remember the dream you told me you had?
Now, was it me?
It's when I'm awake with a shrug at the day
The sun will shine
How many knees have prayed in this house?
Now, was it me?
When I was away, just before time
I let them all
Fill the fields, fill the noise
You've shown better than this before
Fill the fields, fill the noise

Broken records play
Shoes left out all day
Trips were started, left departed
To rise another day
Sing a wish for free
Pays the rent for me
Sun's reflection needs reception
To rise another day
Everybody loves my car
Everybody loves my car
Plant the seed decay
I long to move away
Shoot the gun, now let me run
To rise another day
Living out of time is the best for me
Freedom in my head fills the rest of me

I sit at home 'cause I'm able
I sing out loud but complain in the same old way
I shake the tree of a fable
She sells me lies but she sings on anyway
I live alone at the stable
Betting twice 'cause the numbers say I'm wrong
I've rolled the tree 'cause I'm able
I've burned the mountain to prove that they all were wrong
What's in a story?
What's in a name?
Who makes you hurry?
What cuts the frame?
John, where have you gone?
We've waited so long, where have you gone?
Has something gone wrong?
We've waited so long, where have you gone?
I sit alone 'cause I'm able
I live out life but complain in the same old way
I shake the tree that was stable

She seems so far away
She could sleep through World War III
And if they ever start
I'd rather be that girl than me
The first part of the day
She is pleasantly sedated
She says she likes to go
Where the hate is separated
Reality's overrated
Soda pop religion on line
I must remain in dreamland
Just to have a regular life
She lives, she lives
Morning girl she is
Never seen the morning star
Never heard me slam the door
She must be dreaming good, yeah

(d. coutts)
Can't stand the grocery store
Are there orchards anymore
Blow up the breakwater
Still water breeds disease
You got what you want
Give us back the trees
If I gotta live here I gotta breathe
Peeling an orange I am expecting great sweetness
Peeling an orange, yes I am very optimistic
Sometimes the acid stings my eyes
Building a house from mud
'cause it's already dead
I think of her when she's smiling
When she alone inside my head
You got what you want,
Give her back to me
If she's gonna be free,

End of the world's coming
Because I broke your heart
End of the world's coming
Before I got a start
End of the world's coming
Because we've gone to far
End of the world's coming
'Cause I thought I was a star
End of the world's coming
And I've forgotten to confess
Now they've saving all the rest
Good Mary bless my soul now
'Cause you know God the best
You know God the best
And you know God the best
And I can see it coming
Moods are growing dark
TV says it's not coming
But we know who they are
End of the world's coming
'Cause I use it everyday
End of the world's coming

Painted numbers and sonic slumbers
Fool who thinks he knows it
But can't show the way he really feels
Goodbye wavers and penny savers
Fool who thinks he knows it
But can't show the way he really feels
I hear them laughing
I hear them laughing
All the times have I stumbled before
Growing weeds
Through the holes in the floor
Behind
Planted favors and absent saviors
Fool who thinks he knows it

Once I was a fine man
Until I met the woman
And then she washed me down
And once I was a dry man
Till they took me to a wedding
You know they washed me down
You can wash me
You can wash me down
Heaven has no windows
'Cause heaven has no walls
Because they wash 'em down
The wind blows me in the corner
And it pulls me down the hill
You know it pulls me down, down
You know it throws me down
You can wash me
