You don't weep, you don't cry
Just hold your head up high and you walk on, walk on
Don't scream, don't wail
Keep moving down the trail and you walk on, walk on
Yeah, that's right
Still ready for the fight and you walk on, walk on
Say what they like
You're working every night, walk on, walk on
You can't depend on smellin like a rose
You make your move, you take it how it goes
And when the end as anybody knows is near
You hope that you win
Just the same you really like the game
So you walk on, walk on
Money, they say can buy an easy way
But you walk on, walk on
They love you best
They pin upon your chest a prize
In their eyes, you rise above the rest
It's nice to know you made hate honour roll
Who knows and who cares what comes next
Just like they do it in the circus midway
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, and I wish was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone and I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
So now, when I get lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone and I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone and I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
We aint' gettin' any place like this
You act like nothing's happening
But I can see it all in your face
It's gettin' harder for you everyday
You say your life is changin' so fast
But you don't know which way
And now you act so humble
Don't wanna show what a good time you're havin'
And you pretend to crumble
Sorry now but I know what's happenin'
(Chorus)
Secret infrmation
I got the word on you
You can save the explanation
I've got secret information
I got the word
Around and 'round we go we never stop
You say it's just for fun it doesn't matter
Who comes out on top
You like playin' the mysterious part
But you ain't gonna get me 'cause I
Had you figured out from the start
So fall apart and stumble
You just wanna get a little bit of sympathy
And now you act so humble
I got eyes and they just keep givin' me
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
There's no time for changing plans
I must leave, it's in your hands
I know you'll wait for how long
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
When I'm away you're gonna have a good time
What can I say, will you remember you're mine?
What will you do when they wanna touch ya?
What will you do when they wanna get you?
I know what they'll do
If you ever let 'em, are you gonna let 'em?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
When the boys all come to call
Will you take them in at all
Or will you send them far away?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Why don't you run and do what you wanna do?
Ain't nothin' wrong 'cause I'll be doing it too
If you give in, I don't wanna hear it
And if he wins I don't wanna see it
Whatever you do maybe you can hide it
Try to keep it quiet
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
And when it's night and I'm not there
When the cold is in the air
Will you make the best of it?
Someone there to keep you warm
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Where're you gonna be when I'm gone?
Who will be with you?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Where're you gonna be when I'm gone?
Who will be with you?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone?
Enemy lies cut you down to size
You're hypnotized, who's the bad guy now?
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
I got too many enemies and not enough friends
I may call on your help before we reach the end
I can't look out my window, can't look out my door
I don't think I like this anymore, no, no, no
Enemy lies cut you down to size
You're hypnotized, who's the bad guy now?
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
I got too many enemies and not enough friends
Seems like everybody's touchy, everything offends
Boarded up my windows, double lock upon my door
They really can't complain about me anymore, no, no, no
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Too many enemies and not enough friends
Well, I woke up in the morning, one terrible day
All of my dreams had dried up and blown away
No more easy money, the wrong kind of fame
And too many questions when the telephone rang
Now the telephone
Leaves a lot to be desired
For communication
I'd much rather be by your side
When you owe a lot of money
And they're calling to collect
It's a long long distance
To get their hands around your neck
When the whole game lands on you
How you ever gonna see it through
How you ever gonna satisfy
All the people on the telephone
You got one last saving grace
Not talking to you face to face
Not a damned thing they can do
They're just talking to a telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
I don't mind this working overtime
But I gotta get away from the ringing all day
Going 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round
Well, who ran away with all of my cash
Never saw the tables turn
Happened in a flash
One day I was a hero, next in debt
All the people on the telephone
Trying to make me sweat
When the whole game lands on you
How you ever gonna see it through
How you ever gonna satisfy
All the people on the telephone
You got one last saving grace
Not talking to you face to face
Not a damned thing they can do
Than talking on the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
Tell it to the telephone
(Shut up)
Tell it to the telephone
(Shut up)
Tell it to the telephone
(Shut up)
Tell it to the telephone
(Shut up)
Tell it to the telephone
(Shut up)
Tell it to the telephone
(Shut up)
Tell it to the telephone
People run like tired lemmings headed for the sea
Borders of imagination keeping them from seeing things
Ancient guards in greying fortresses of old ideas
Standing guard on treasure that has long since
disappeared from use
Oh we have got to find something better
Oh people we got to find something better
People run like tired lemmings they don't see the sun
Shadow pictures drive them on and keep them on the run
Knights in blazing armour stand upon a nearby hill
Shafts of gleaming light held high and no one sees them
still
Oh we have got to find something better
Oh people we got to find something better
Long ago and far away the words ring like a bell
Stories poems books and songs have used these words and
use them still
Long ago and far away is where most of us dwell
Time has chased us all away and left today under its
spell
Oh we have got to find something better
There's a feeling burning in my heart
She turns a key that's always open
One look from her and that's all I need to start
And none has seen the word is spoken
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't know
When will I find a way that I can make her see
'Cause she don't know, she don't know
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
All around her there's a magic in the air
Words come out but they don't reach her
She slips away every time that I get near
She means so much but I can't touch her
And she don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't know
When will I find a way that I can make her see
She don't know, she don't know
(Got to make her mine, she don't know)
What she's doing to me, yeah
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't know
When will I find a way that I can make her see
She don't know, she don't know
(Got to make her mine, she don't know)
What she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know, she don't, she don't know
She don't know what she's doing to me
(Henderson-Turney)
You've been trying every night to be a star

In another world

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
It's late at night and the streets are full of sound
Neon and steel of wheels are goin' around
Everybody wants to play
Everybody wants to get away
In the night time, in the night time, baby
Under the street light dreams are made and broken
In shadows of the night they are spoken
Doesn't matter what you do all day
(Ooh, it doesn't matter)
Everybody wants to get away
(Ooh, everybody wants to get away)
In the night time, in the night time, baby
Come and get it tonight, come and get it tonight
Oh yeah, come and get it tonight, come and get it
Come and get it tonight
Oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
Stop lyin', walk right, no way romances
In smoky rooms with fashion and advances
It doesn't matter who you're with all day
(Ooh, it doesn't matter)
Everybody wants to get away

In the night time, in the night time, baby
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
She been gone gone gone so long
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
She been gone gone gone so long
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
gone gone gone so long
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long

wonder if I'm ever gonna see my girl
Ever since she left me
I sure feel all alone
A little misunderstanding
I can`t get her on the telephone
Hanging out down on Main Street
Living in a different world
Standing around
With the gang on the corner
Talking about my girl
My girl, she was the world to me
She`s gone away across the sea
My girl is just a memory
She been so long away
(CHORUS)
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
She been gone gone gone so long
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
gone gone gone so long
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
she's been gone gone gone so long
She didn`t have to leave me
She didn`t have to run
She didn`t have to go
Without a word to anyone
I hope she`s doing alright
Got no way to know
Unless she gets to hear this song
Hear it on the radio
My girl, she was the world to me
She`s gone and that`s a tragedy
My girl is just a memory
She been so long away
(music)
CHORUS)
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
She been gone gone gone so long
Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
She been gone gone gone so long

Gone gone gone, she been gone so long
wonder if I'm ever gonna see my girl
Well, I hope she gets the message
Gotta get her back you know
Gonna track her down, I`ll find that girl
Gonna tell her that I love her so
Put the word on the grapevine
Spread it all around the world
Sooner or later, I know I`m gonna get her
Talkin about my girl, my girl
Hey Mr. Rock, Mr. Rock
Awake at noon and you finally get up
Watch the TV, talk on the phone
Behind your curtains it's a twilight zone
You hit the streets when night comes down
Drinkin', smokin', gettin' around
You try a lot, a star you're not
You're playing a part that you almost got
You tell your friends that you're on top
The truth must hurt because you know you're not
Out on the streets when night comes down
You and your dreams keep hanging around
Say that you're worth a fortune
Everybody knows your name
(You're fooling nobody here)
You're up 'til five o'clock every morning
It's driving you insane
Hey Mr. Rock, Mr. Rock
You got the moves, yeah, you got the talk
You got it down on the microphone
But behind your curtains it's a twilight zone
They've seen your act all over the town
Drinkin', smokin', gettin' around
Say that you're worth a fortune
Everybody knows your name
(You're fooling nobody here)
You're up 'til five o'clock every morning
It's driving you insane
You had a shot, a star you're not
You spent your money and you lied a lot
So tell your friends that you're on top
The truth will hurt because you know you're not
Oh no, you're not, a star you're not
No you're not, no, no, no you're not
Hey Mr. Rock, hey Mr. Rock
Hey Mr. Rock, hey Mr. Rock
Midnight
Midnight all across the sea
Midnight
Share my midnight fantasy
Set your sails out over the water
All you need is a wind and you got her
Everything is easy and together
Everything is coming clear
Even if the breeze is barely coming round
We’ll sail away until the stars going down
Beauty of the silent ocean at night
Is going to take us a way
Midnight
Sailing the Midnight sea
Midnight
Midnight fantasy
Midnight
Come to me my Midnight girl
Midnight
Can’t you hear me calling you
If I come I would always hold ya
In my mind to tide me over
Just to be on the rollin’ water
It makes me feel so easy again
Even when I know it is just a fantasy
I can still feel the magic working on me
Beauty of the silent ocean at night
Is going to set me free
Midnight
Sailing the Midnight sea
Midnight
Midnight fantasy
Midnight
Midnight

I went down to see lonesome Mary
She was sitting all alone
She was crying for the contrariness
That made a desert of her home
She was weeping and a-wailing
You know she does it every day
I said Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
How can you live that way
She said I don't know
Must be in my soul
I guess I must be the most contrary
Hard to get along with
Person in this world
Ooh, Lonesome Mary
Ooh, Lonesome Mary
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I went down to see lonesome Mary
She was sitting all alone
She was crying for the contrariness
That made a desert of her home
She was weeping and a-wailing
You know she does it every day
I said Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
How can you live that way
She said I don't know
Well, it must be in my soul
I guess I must be the most contrary
Hard to get along with
Person in this world
Ooh, Lonesome Mary
Ooh, Lonesome Mary
Well, I hear what you're saying
But I don't know what you mean, it's like stereo
I can tell that you're talking
But my head just isn't working, I'm in stereo
Everything is funny
Like I'm sitting on the bottom of the sea
I don't know if I like it or if
Someone ought to come and rescue me
Like a lot of other people
When the going's getting tough, I go stereo
Part of me can take it
But the rest is backing off and I'm in stereo
Floating out of reach of everybody
Everything is moving slow
It's an underwater movie
Like the rapture of the deep and Jacques Cousteau
It's alright, it's okay, I don't mind
Now you've walked right into my little world
You can stay, you can stay
We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be okay
Round and round, round and round
Round and round, round and round in stereo
Round and round, round and round
Round and round, round and round in stereo
It's alright, it's okay, I don't mind
Now you've walked right into my little world
You can stay, you can stay
We'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be fine, we'll be okay
Round and round, round and round, stereo
Round and round, round and round, stereo
Round and round, round and round, stereo
Round and round, round and round in stereo
Round and round, round and round in stereo
I was lost in time
Feelin' like the victim of a perfect crime
Until that night I met you
How was I to know just what your love could do
Now I believe there has been a change in me
Yeah I believe that it was meant to be
Oh can't you see I believe in you and me?
In the dark of night we can be
What we would like to be
And it's all right
When it's you, you and me girl
Well I feel like
We're the only people in the world
I believe there has been a change in me
Yeah I believe that it was meant to be
Can't you see I believe in you and me?
Oh it's so easy, so damn easy to see
The way I feel for you and you for me
Now I believe there has been a change in me
Yeah I believe that it was meant to be
Can't you see I believe in you and me?
Oh can't you see I believe in you and me?
Oh can't you see I believe in you and me?
Oh can't you see I believe in you and me?

And there you were with someone that I had never seen
I had to swallow hard and stop the urge to scream
And I can say I got through okay
I think I’m getting better
I think I’m getting better
All the time
All the time
I guess you found out just how jealous I could be
I would have wrapped you up and kept you all for me
But now I’ve changed
Do you think I’m strange

All the time

Four men in a Rock 'n' Roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
See the morning from the other side
And when you close your eyes
Sleep comes fast
When you fly the universe
Well, you need some rest
Yeah, you need some rest
Ooh, we like the big wide spaces
Yeah, we like a sea of faces
Time is just a rubber band
Time is at our command
And when we look out
And see you there
You seem much closer
And you feel so near
Yeah, you feel so near
Well, we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
And baby that's just what it's for
Yeah, we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more
Well, we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
And baby that's just what it's for
We fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more
Four men in a Rock 'n' Roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, and how I wish was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin' for the one and only
That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
I see you in the light
Movin' in and out of sight
Who are you?
Where have I seen you before?
Watching you move around
Turns my emotions upside down
Who are you?
I know that I've seen you before
Now that I've found you
I wanna see you some more
Don't stop, the feeling is growing
Don't stop, it's starting to show
Don't stop what you're doin' to me
Do it forever, do it forever
Don't stop, I love what you say
Don't stop, it's magic to me
Don't stop touching my soul
Do it forever, do it forever
You see me? I can tell by your eyes
That this thing is in motion, taking us both by surprise
Could it be?
It's so easy
Taking you into my soul like a river
Finding it's way to the sea
Like an old friend
You're finding your way back to me
Don't stop, the feeling is growing
Don't stop, it's starting to show
Don't stop what you're doin' to me
Do it forever, do it forever
Like an old friend
You're finding your way back to me
Don't stop, the feeling is growing
Don't stop, it's starting to show
Don't stop what you're doin' to me
Do it forever, do it forever
Don't stop, I love what you say
Don't stop, it's magic to me
Don't stop touching my soul
Do it forever, do it forever
Don't stop
Do it forever, do it forever
Don't stop, no, no, no, don't stop, don't stop
Do it forever, do it forever
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
She talks crazy talk

She talks crazy talk
She could make a man a ruin
She talks crazy talk
She'll tell ya anything
She talks crazy talk
She could give a man the ruin
And if you fall for her lies
In a while, you will find
You can dance, you can sing
Like a puppet on a string
But you ain't in control of a single thing
She talks crazy talk
She talks crazy talk
She'll tell ya anything
She could make a man a ruin
She talks mumbo jumbo
Monkey on your back
She talks crazy talk
She could make a man a ruin
And if you fall for her lies
In a while, you will find
You can dance, you can sing
Like a puppet on a string
But you ain't in control of a single thing
She talks crazy talk
She don't mean a word she says
She talks crazy talk
She could make a man a ruin
She talks crazy talk, mumbo jumbo
Monkey on your back
She talks crazy talk
She could make a man a ruin
She talks crazy talk, mumbo jumbo
Monkey on your back
She talks crazy talk
Now I feel like I'm losing my mind
Now I know what I'm leaving behind
When I get down I oughta write you a letter
I'm on the run but I can't run forever
But each time I never get it to ya
I feel weak, it's like I never knew ya
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
When you touch me baby I'm all right
But it's not the same when you're out of sight
With what I know I oughta do much better
A little note will bring me to you
But each time I never get it to ya
I feel weak, it's like I never knew ya
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
Thanks a lot for turning me down
Now you got me going round
Check in, check out, lost and found
Cause now my dog is all over town
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

California

Well I know you now
Understand you now
And I love you more each day
California Girl
California Girl
You're the best thing that I've seen in awhile
California Girl
California Girl
There must be something magic in your smile
Now when I came to this California town
I came here to make the big time
And I tried so hard but got no reward
And it seemed like I was wasting my time
I was kicking around this lonesome town
Trying to pick myself up instead of going down
But something sure changed when I met you
California now is lookin' bright and blue
California Girl
California Girl
Well it seemed like I was wasting my time
But now I know you girl
And I love you girl
And it seems like California's all mine
I've been knocking on doors trying to sell my songs
I've been getting refused everywhere I've gone
But something sure changed when I met you
California now is looking bright and blue
California Girl
California Girl
Well I don't know how to say what's on my mind
And now I know you girl
And I love you girl
And it feels like California's all mine
California
California Girl

Have you got something to tell me?
Please come up and tell it to me
Please come up and tell me
Baby blue
Have you got a tear or two?
Well come on up and tell me do now
You can tell it all now
Baby blue
Really baby, don't be shy
It's all right for me to talk to you
So let it all come out and let it all come through
Baby blue
Someone has been cruel to you
Someone has been unkind to you
How about you tell me
Tell me who
Who would want to treat you that way?
Who could stand to see you that way?
Who could make you cry now
Baby blue?
Let it all come out and let it all come through
Baby blue
Someone hurt you bad
You don't have to take it so bad
Really baby, don't be shy
It's all right for me to talk to you
So let it all come out and let it all come through
Baby blue
Let it all come out and let it all come through
Baby blue
Let it all come out and let it all come through
You got a way of gettin' around
Movin' around from town to town
Startin' to build a reputation
The word is always gettin' around
You go that look from head to toe
They know your style wherever you go
They're watchin' you with anticipation
You're walkin' around like you stole the show
So you wanna be a star
All the world knows who you are
So you wanna drive 'em crazy
So you wanna be a star
You know that all the world's a stage
You've read the script, page for page
You picked the part you wanted to go for
And now you're really all the rage
So put it together, put it together
Blow the roof right off the place
Today is gone but that doesn't matter
Alright you're in the race
So you wanna be a star
All the world knows who you are
People come from near and far
They think you're number one, a true phenomenon
The very best they've ever seen, so far
So you wanna be a star
All the world knows who you are
People come from near and far
They think you're number one, a true phenomenon
Have I told you how good
It feels to be me
When I'm in you
I can only stay clean
When you are around
Don't let me fall
If I close my eyes for ever
Would it ease the pain
Could I breath again
Baby I'm addicted and out of control
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying
Baby I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying
I'm wasting away
Made a million mistakes
Am I to late
There's a storm in my head
And it rains on my bed
When you're not here
I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm afraid of losing you
Baby I'm addicted and out of control
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying
Baby I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying
When you're lying next to me
Love is going through to me
O it's beautiful
Everything is clear to me
Till I hit reality
I lose it all
I lose it all
I lose it all
Baby I'm addicted
And trying, trying, trying
Baby I'm addicted
Don't want to lose it all
Baby I'm all lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying
Baby I'm addicted
Baby I'm addicted
He flies as a crow flies
straight to her
Why?
Tell her
something
He promises her he will not do
all the things
he has already
done to her
She flies as a crow flies
in a straight line
straight to him
Why?
Listen
Time flies as a crow flies
in a straight line
through you not around you
your life is only
that with which
time
has its
way with you
In the corner
of my eye
Underneath
Back street
in the corner
wait till
it gets warmer
do the honor
swing blade
underwater
he's
calling
the crow
he's
calling
the crow
In the corner
of my eye
In the corner
is the sky
In the corner
with the birds
he's
calling
the crow
he's
calling

If I could walk, I'd be a miner.
If I could talk, I'd be a preacher.
If I was a preacher,
Tell you what: I'd save a million souls - even you.
If I was a miner,
Tell you what: I'd be a damn good one.
This ain't
a joke...
Got us all worked up...
and left us naked out here in the sun.
But who could say it's sad?
I attach no importance to it,
just because of my hand,
just because of my shriveled little hand...
I could be a baseball player.
Doesn't surprise me now,
even though we had a map,
took three days to find...
Taylor from Pizmo...
Blockhead...
You're a Dummy...
I Could Even See His Lips Move.
It's Impressive How They Do It...
Picture Your Head and Waive Out Excuses,
The Things You Could Say With It.
It's Made of Stone Or Iron;
What If It Was Wood So I Could Burn It?
Drink a Glass of Water...
Blockhead! (Blockhead!)
You're a Dummy! (Dummy!)
And a Mouthpiece! (Blockhead!)
(?) Minion! (Dummy!)
Blockhead! (Blockhead!)
You're a Dummy and a Mouthpiece! (Blockhead!)
You're a Soulless Creep! (Dummy!)
Blockhead! (Blockhead!)
You're a Dummy! (Dummy!)
And a Mouthpiece! (Blockhead!)
(?)!
I Could Even See His Lips Move...
This Is the Song Against Itself
It's of Two Minds of Its Own
The Discussion Brough to Logical Conclusion
It Follows Through
But Is Not True
We'll Just Write a Song Against Itself
Why Do You Act Like You Don't Know
What in the World I'm Talking About?
It Follows Through
You Have no Clue
(I've Already Had It Up With You)
(I've Already Had It Up With You)
(I've Already Had It Up With You)

Imagine a man so tall
Back on the ceiling
Stoop over man to
Get in his house
Imagine a man so proud
Build a monument to himself
Mountain of garbage
In his house
Ask the boy
Sleep in a tent outside
Why?
Imagine his wife
Sleep in daybed
Times they make love in it
With the doo-doo and the feces on the wall and
Imagine a man so tall
Back on the ceiling
He stoop over man to
Get in his house
Imagine a man so proud
Build a monument to himself
Mountain of garbage
Call It Canaveral
I Won't Say His Name
Could Have Had Anyone, He Didn't
What Do You Think Could Make Him Stoop So Low?
What Do You Think Could Make Him
Stick His Hands in My Life
What On Earth Could Make Him Stoop So Low?
What Do You to Think Could Make Him
Stick His Cock in My Wife
What On Earth Could Make Him Stoop So Low?
I'd Like to Put Him Up There in One
I'd Like to See His Face
I'd Like to Put Him Up There in One
Blow Him Up Into Space
He'll Fertilize the Rice in China
With the Cinders of His Remains
Want to Start a Country Somewhere
On An Island Or An Archipelago
Or a Peninsula, Or An Isthmus, Or a Fjord Or
An Inlet, Or Even a Mountain
Print Up Stamps and Money There
Hey man, I wanna have a fight with you
Regardless of my feelings on the subject
It appears that I am going to
Give up the fight and get about it
I paid more than anyone would advise for this watch
And so far I am disappointed in it
It beeps at me at noon and seven and five and I cannot turn
Off the piece of shit
Hey man hey!
Hey man I wanna have a fight with you.
And the way that you're behaving it's clear to me
You would like to have one too
So let's stop dancin'
And do what we both came here to do
Hey man hey!
Hey!
Hey man!
Hey man, hey hey!
Hey man, I wanna have a fight with you
And the way that you're behaving it's clear to me
This is a picture
Of things going a little out of hand.
This is a sculpture
Of a couple of things we gotta get straight
Sooner rather than later
A genius invents a tool
To show the world what it
What it means when
When I'm in a bad mood
There are angels there
Know where they keep angels?
Heaven, that's where
I can't wait to die
I can find me some
That's where I'll find my wife
Oh, My Mama Gina
Had a Sister, Angelina.
If There Is a Heaven
(Though I Think That There's no Heaven)
She's Probably Dancing With You...
She Liked to Dance; She Would've Liked You.
When She Heard You Died
My Pretty Girlfriend Cried
And Cried and Cried
And Cried and Cried
And Cried and Cried and Cried and Cried...
To the one true God above,
here is my prayer.
Not the first you've heard,
but the first I wrote.
(not the first, but the others
were a long time ago...)
There are two people here,
and I want you to kill them.
Her, she can go quietly,
by disease, or a blow
to the base of her neck,
where her necklaces close.
Where her garments come together,
where I used to lay my face...
that's where you oughta kill her,
in that particular place.
Him, just fucking kill him.
I don't care if it hurts.
Yes I do -- I want it to.
Fucking kill him but first
make him cry like a woman
(no particular woman)
let him hold out, hope that
Someone or other might come and
Fuckin' kill him.
Fuckin' kill him.
Kill him already, kill him. (x5)
Kill him already,
Kill him already,
Kill him, fuckin' kill him.
Just fuckin' kill him.
Fuckin' kill him.
Kill him already, kill him.
Fuckin' kill him.
Kill him.
Fuckin' kill him already, kill him.
Kill him.
Fucking kill him.
Kill him, just fucking kill him,
kill him already, kill him already,
kill him,
eat yourself out of house and home
go home
there's nothing there because
you eat yourself out of house and home
throw up
and do it again
make a meal of nothing at all
why?
makes you feel better
anything in your life you own
it's alright
if it makes you feel better
cut yourself up and down your arms
both arms
if it makes you feel better
and they're your arms
it's none of my business
it's it's none of my business
if it makes you feel better
fucking you is a total stranger
think about it he's a total stranger
why?
it makes you feel better
it's none of my business
if it makes you feel better
it's alright
if it makes you feel better
it's alright
if it makes you feel better
it's alright
if it makes you feel better
it's alright
if it makes you feel better
(x3)

It Comes As no Surprise He's Taken By Surprise
It Comes As no Surprise He's Taken By Surprise
That's the Man, i Say His Always Ahead
That's the Admiral His Taking in His Cock
It Comes As no Surprise He's Taken By Surprise
It Comes As no Surprise He's Taken By Surprise
That's Man Who Says It's Your Turn in the Barrel
That's the Admiral Taking in His Cock
She Walked Into the Admiral
Looking For Someone

This is a sad fuckin' song
We'll be lucky if I don't bust out crying
How does it feel?
Your night light, your curling iron
Lit up by the sweat of others,
For many's the day
But not from November to May
The floor is littered
With woodchips and apple cores
And hulls (holes?) of acorns
There is a chattering sound
Because they were squirrels; real squirrels.
(And there were thousands)
This isn't some kind of metaphor,
For decades,
You paraded around as a crazy bitch.
Wretchedness - your lucky charm...
Unknown bracelet displayed on your arm.
All we saw is not how you are.
Caught a glimpse of you
in an unselfconscious smile.
Reveal yourself.
Time Was, I Could Move My Arms Like a Bird... Fly!
She Was a Wingwalker,
Pitgirl of the Sky...
And Now I Got An Engine,
A Big Perverted Engine,
It Runs On Strength of Will...
Who Could Deny Me the Right to Fly?
You Know, It's My Art -
When I Form My Body in the Shape of a Plane...
I'm a Plane! {repeats}
Now I Got An Airframe,
A Big Perverted Airframe.
You Know? It's My Art -
When I Disguise My Body in the Shape of a Plane...
I'm a Plane! (I'm a Plane!) {repeats}
(Look At Me, Look At Me - I'm a Plane! Look At Me, I'm a Plane! Look At Me!)
And a Plane Becomes a Metaphor For My Life, and As I Suffer For It Like I'm
Insane, As It Says... So She Suffers Under the Weight of My Plane... You
Know? It's My Art! When I Disguise My Body in the Shape of a Plane...
I still remember hearing your shoe hit the floor
Do you get the same jokes as me?
Do you get the jokes the same as me?
I remember the first kiss
I don't remember the last
Smash my skull on the sidewalk with the truth
I don't remember the last time
I didn't know
And I miss you
Copper, let us take you
To the furnace where we'll break you
The fire so big and pretty, you could cry
As you buckle you could ask me, "What was wrong with me before?
Did I need the silver to be suitable?"
Copper, I have a use for you, it's easy work and it suits you
Dazzled dirty beauty, you must know
Copper is a conductor and makes for decent cooking
Dazzled by your beauty still you know
Plated or anodized, you even fool a layman's eyes
Presentable though you might be, it's unwise to try to fight me
is this thing on?
can you hear me now?
oh god
is thing on?
test test test test test test
can you hear me now?
as we come to the close of our broadcast day
this is my farewell transmission
signing off mr. and mrs. america all the ships at sea
anyone within the sound of my voice
i've got fifty thousand watts of power
wanna ionise the air
this microphone turns sound into electricity
can you hear me now?
out on route one twenty eight, the dark and lonely
you got my radio on?
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
it's the end of the radio
that snaredrum
that drum roll means we got a winner
if you're the fifth caller, or any caller at all
welcome to my top ten
i'd like to thank our sponsor
we haven't got a sponsor
not if you were the last man on earth
and she was prepared to prove it
this one goes out to a special girl
there is no special girl
it's the end of the radio
the last announcer plays the last record
the last watt leaves the transmitter
circles the globe in search of a listener
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
is it really broadcasting if there is noone there to receive?
it's the end of radio
as we come to the close of our broadcast day
got my radio on
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
can you hear me now?
this is a test
if this had been a real emergency
hey hey!

Doris's Hands When Things Go Wrong in Her Little Life,
And They Show Her Her Face.
There Are Things She Doesn't Talk About,
There Are Things She Only Tells Her Mom,
There Are Things She Never Tells Anyone.
There Are Things in Doris's Life,
But Then There Are in Everyone's...
Then She Opens Her Little Mouth,
She Sings Her Little Song and Like a Flag
It Folds Out Across the City,
And It Goes:
"The Fat Man Becomes An Ice-skater...
Maniac Becomes a Stepfather...
I Watch a Policeman's Mouth -
Out Comes An Honest Word."
Miracles Happen When Doris Sings,
Couples in Love Stop Dead in Their Tracks,
Dishes Clatter to the Ground (Unbroken),
Politicians Die.
She Watches As Her Son Becomes An Imbecile,
Watches As Her Son Becomes a Vegetable,
Watches As Her Son Becomes a Senator,
Watches As Her Only Son Becomes An Imbecile
(And It Makes Her Cry).
She Waves Her Little Song Like a Flag,
It Goes Across the City.
Miracles Can Happen,

Gonna eat what I pick
And I hope you choke on it
I'm proud to break a sweat
Too late
For Satchel Paige
It's a Gary Cooper Story
And it shines like Sammy's knee
Gonna eat what I pick
And I hope you choke on it
When I dance I raise the dead
Drop a nickel in my hat
Take one look at your big smile
Proud to break a sweat

I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws 'til I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I could make a mark if it weren't so dark
I could be replaced by any bright spark
But darkness makes me fumble
For a key, to a door that's wide open
Instead of worrying about my clothes
I could be someone that nobody knows
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I can dream up schemes when I'm sitting in my seat
I don't see any flaws 'til I get to my feet
I wish I never woke up this morning
Life was easy when it was boring
I wish I never woke up this morning
