television, television, television, television
oh yeah! I want to bask in your golden light,
submerge in electric waves,
I need my connection to the world outside
the world outside is buzzing like an angry wasp in summer,
the candidates are running, and soon the son of God is coming,
crackle mental convolutions tune in to the revolution,
whereby everyone's included so we'll never have to be alone
every atom of my body, blood and sinew, bone and fibre,
I can't distil you from my blood,
you're a hungry germ inside of me,
you're my lover, you're my heroine,
my conscience and my voice,
and I know that I have learned to let you in I
will lever have to be alone
I'd take after my mother but she's from a different generation,
I prefer my big brother he's so gentle and understanding,
and I learn what I can from him by the television light,
Bing-a-bong-a-bing-bong
Bing-bong
Bing-a-bong-a-bing-bong
Bing-bong
Television, say you love me
Television, say you care
Loneliness is my profession
Show me those who are not there
Television, murmur to me
Deep inside my room tonight
You're the devil's fishbowl, honey
I undress before your lies
Your lies...
Your lies...
Television, open to me
My remote is in my hand
I can dim you to a red light
Honey, try to understand
I'm there...
So there...
Bing-a-bong-a-bing-bong
Bing-bong
Bing-a-bong-a-bing-bong
Bing-bong
Television, I'm so sorry
If I turned you off back there
I'm so small in your dimension
My kid will look like you, I swear
I swear...
Oh, I swear...

Before that sacred holy flickering tv-screen
You're served commercials day-time fakes and tv-priests
You keep your VCR running almost constantly
Afraid to miss out on something happening on channel three
You zap from channel one to two look what they have done to you
You live from staged realities and fakes
Channel three then four and five you double check your tv-guide
Re-enacted lives to keep you awake
Life is served
Here every taste will find our satisfaction guarantee
On the never sleeping flickering screen
You keep watching this truly weird masquarade
The flickering screen enchants you your truly all enslaved
Nostalgia sports and comedies, cops cartoons and tragedies
Remote control at hand you sit enslaved
Washing powder and apple pies re-runs soaps and Jesus Christ
Anytime is time to zap the world away
Life is served...
We're your tellyvisions
You zap from channel one to two...
Nostalgia sports and comedies...
leaves his mind there at five.
He knows his work's all done tonight.
Doesn't care about love greed or hate:
a beer and T.V. will disguise his fate.
He moves his lips but nothing comes out.
He clears his soul, but no one else could tell.
Just one time he came along.
Set aside all the things he knew.
When all the peoples faces turned to gold,
he found his thoughts and mind were sold.
He moves his lips, but nothing comes out.
Take me out for the super future
Telling you, man, I'ma going to use her
Let me go and I'll slide like rayon
Stuck with you and I'm stuck with nothing
Take me out to the universe
Ya know ya can't stop me from loving you
Take my heart, let the pieces fall in
The star bright sky and a piece of you
Check out, baby, she's a riding the missile
Fall out trigger, crazy pull on the pistol
Last year happy just a ruling the scene
Now they're blowing their brains to pieces
Take me out to the universe
Ya know ya can't stop me from loving you
Take my heart, let the pieces fall in
The star bright sky and a piece of you
Yeah man, you know I'm sick to death right now
Can't believe it, what the hell is wrong with you?
All I believe in, take the pretty pill
Man, I'm riding the wave in
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Take me out to the universe
You know I'm moving too fast for the human racing
No one sees me when I'm falling
Take my heart and a piece of you
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Screens like mansions on concrete steels
Break the will and ride the people
New gods give for you to heal
Too bad you will never feel
Get down, I wanna ride the wheel right now
And if you see me drop a line and help me out
Riding a vision, take a look man for the new incision
Ride a vision you're on a mission
Crawl like a dog and beg for forgiveness
Take me out to the universe
You know I'm moving too fast for the human racing
No one sees me when I'm falling
Take my heart and a piece of you
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
Television you got a vision
She's signing autographs for hours the line is longer when you deal with amateurs
I've got some autographs of others but a shirt that smells a little like her
Once the bane of my perversion
Now she's on the television
Turn it up turn it down
Tune me in tune me out
Bite my lip around the family they know her holiday and summer weekend face
She's got a lovely shitcom family adopted one of every single race
Put yourself in my position
My Ex is on the television
Turn it up...
When you place your lips upon the screen spark of which you've never seen
A volume knob controls the scream
Turn it up...
I sit alone contemplating
What is missing inside me
I desperately try to remember
A life that's not meant to be
I meditate
And try to recapture
Some sense of reality
In my life
When I look around
I see numb empty faces
The world is waiting to die
And this apathy
Is so suffocating
The slow decay of my mind
I've searched the world
For someone with answers
To questions that are plaguing me
I scream in vain
To anyone who'll listen
But everbody's watchin' TV
Is anyone alive?
Am I lost in a world
Where nothing matters?
Am I lost in a world
Where no one cares?
Is anyone alive?
Are we lost in a world
Where nothing matters?
Are we lost in a world
Where no one cares?
On top of the hour
(Compulsive my behavior)
I see my life through sky news
(Keeping things in order)
Keep on watching things unfolding
On my wide screen set
Can't contain myself, I'm going pay per view
Think I'll explode
(In the corner of my room)
If I do too much gak
(Sits my one big eyeball)
It's with the advent of this pay per view
Can't control myself
I scratch my knee
I have to scratch the other
(This is Sky News)
Documentaries are the best
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Study quite hard
(In the corner of my room)
When I should be in bed
(Sits my one big eyeball)
I'm in the open university
Constant imprint of the test card on my eyes
I think I should rest
(Compulsive my behavior)
Sleep on one side and the other
(Keeping things in order)
Always searching for the Abilene
Can't control myself
I scratch my knee
I have to scratch the other
(Sky News on the other)
Documentaries are the best
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
I scratch my knee
I have to scratch the other
([Incomprehensible] Sky News, Sky News, Sky News)
Documentaries are the best
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come
Through my TV, through my TV
All my problems come

Run around the spiral it's our choice now,
Up or down, days can seem so long
Holy ghost, I'm living with your voice now
But tonight, I'm sleeping with my television on
Come tomorrow there'll be hell to pay and clouds across the sun
You were right I've always been a sinner
You were right I've wasted all your time
You said it all, "We drank to much at dinner."
So tonight I'm sleeping with my television on
Come tomorrow there'll be hell to pay and clouds across the sun
You and I baby we're a broken record.
Turn around we're making sound but only for the noise
And what if I could live like this, but not forever
And what if you could move the needle to a more forgiving song
And what if this, was never really broken all along
But for tonight, I'm sleeping with my television on
I'm sleeping with my TV on
Yeah I don't mind sleeping, not when there's flash and buzz
Your colors dance beneath my bedroom door
Yeah I don't mind sleeping with my tv on
With my tv on
With my tv on
She's always around and under my skin
Watching her move how she tells a story
It's only a dream of lovers and lies
She's cruel and she's free like television
She's in my head
Like television
She's in my head
We fall into bed our tongues are tied
Her lips and her eyes are so disarming
And when we embrace she pulls me inside
I wake up alone with television
Crawl around the story
Oh, how the waves wash over me
Lost inside her story
She's in my head
Like television
She's in my headShe shows me the world I see through her eyes
The beauty of brave new understanding
It's only a dream of lovers and lies
I carry with me in all my vision
She's always around and under my skin
Watching her move how she tells a story
And when we embrace she pulls me inside
She's cruel and she's free like television
Crawl around the story
Oh, how the waves wash over me
Lost inside her story
She's in my head
Like television
Like television
I see the world and what it could do to you
Losing the things so dear to you
So face the lights
Now smile for the cameras
'Cause you're on TV
If you've got something to lose
You've already lost
If you didn't get to make a choice
Raise your hand
Now all of my friends
Look like sun rays in disguise
And all my victims come rise
They're...
They're...
They're home
If you've got something to lose
You've already lost
If you didn't get to make a choice
Raise your hand
And say how did the world...
The world let me down again?
There always seems to be too much brick
Underneath my chins
It's double or nothing now
We're in the bonus round
So smile
For the camera
You're on TV
And all the world is watching
I see the world and what it could do to you
I see the world, what it could do to you
I see the world!
I see the world!
What it could do to you!
I see the world!
At the end of every working day
I hurry home as fast as I can
grab myself a bite
'cause since you left me I'm a lonely man
I crack out a can of something
settle down in my chair
from that moment 'till the spot disappears
man, I could be anywhere
I'm pluggin' in my... Television
Turn it on... Television
Tune it in... Television
'n everything... Television
I'm lookin' at... Television
Just like a cat... Television
that little set... Television
It never quits
Let me tell you I don't care what's on if it's happy or sad
don't give a damn if it's good or bad
I'll sit and watch it 'till it drives me mad
just as long as it's on I'm glad
Now everybody that I used to know
they never come around no more
I don't go out either
'cause I ain't got nowhere to go
You see my best friend has been livin' in
ever since you've been gone
all I gotta do is activate that tube
and I don't have to miss you no more
I'm pluggin' in my... Television
Turn it on... Television
Tune it in... Television
'n everything... Television
I'm lookin' at... Television
Just like a cat... Television
that little set... Television
It never quits
Let me tell you I don't care what's on if it's happy or sad
don't give a damn if it's good or bad
I'll sit and watch it 'till it drives me mad
Life means nothing, when no one knows your name,
I never had too much but I'd give it all for fame,
Baby, baby...
She's there on the TV, So beautiful on screen,
Selling me a life I've never known and never seen,
Baby, baby...
If I only had you, If I only had...
[CHORUS:]
Television, New religion, Let everyone sing Hallelujah.
Politicians, Don't wanna listen, They only wanna make money out of you.
Hallelujah!!
Newspaper headlines, I can't believe my eyes,
No tales of war and destruction, But who said what last night,
On the TV, well that could be me!
Through the shop window it's a wide screen world,
But I can't afford a thing and I never get the girl,
It ain't easy, no it ain't easy...
If I only had you, If I only had you..
If I only had you, If I only had...
[CHORUS]
Oh, You know we always want something,
But somehow we end up with nothing, nothing
If I only had you, If I only had you..
If I only had, If I only had...
[CHORUS]

A spark of which I've never seen

Look at me, I'm on the tele-v
How could this be, it's me on channel 3
Shiny shoes, and shiny hair
My stylist told me what to wear
She said to smile and look real thin
Oh woah oh woah
Is anybody watching me?
Or will I disappear?
Is anybody holding on me?
Am I wasting my time?
I want it, you need it
Come on baby, let's conceive it
If I fail, will you try?
Oh, no! Don't turn the channel off
Knock, knock, that's me on the other side
Put your hand on the screen, that's me you see
I'm trapped behind this glass
I'm trapped right in a box
But that that's me, right on the the tele-v
I see Lucy Ball Show
Kojak's lollipop
I see the rain is falling in South America
And two men draw in a Texan town
And one prizefighter knocks the other one down
Good news bad news
Good news bad news
No news at all
The weatherman smiles
While a hungry child is kissing a king
And The Osmonds sing on
Someone's bending a spoon
Someone's walking on the moon
Someone's robbing a bank
Someone's blowing a bomb on
Television Television Television
Television Television Television
Television Television Television
Through the silent universe all over the world
Pictures in the sky
Words are flying by
The waves change our time
Sail into our minds
Still there's so many things
That we'll never see on
Television
Television
Television
. . .
Good news bad news
. . .
She's had too much whisky
You can see the traces in her middle-aged face
And though she's only forty-two
She thinks she's got nothing else to do
Than to let her evenings pass away
While her husband falls asleep
In front of the late
Late late movies
She's watching the late late late
late midnight movies
Watching the late late late movies
The late late late midnight movies on
Last night I drifted down to the docks
The water... glittering and black.
The snow fell lightly and disappeared.
I felt the old ropes grow slack.
I thought I'd dissolve when the beacon revolved.
I just get so carried away.
Once I had a ship, yes I had a map
I had the wind like a tree has sap
I sank into these banks of clay
I get carried
Those rooms were freezing and always dark but where we were never mattered
Your head was golden
There was lightning in your arms and then the glass shattered.
It was noon at midnite.
The day that never ends –
The lamp it whispers and makes amends – everything was more than I took it for.
(Verlaine)
You're pushin' a furnace
You're workin' too hard
You're setting things off - all over the yard
You play with your 'top' - till your eyes start to spin
Then you shrug your shoulders and ask me where I've been
Travel fulfills you but the distance it kills you
Oh oh ain't that nothin'
Why don't you tell me somethin'
Tragedy
Ain't that nothin'
I just wish you'd tell me something -
The fan keeps whirling
The wind stays hot - but I can't keep from slippin' a lot
I look in that purse
It's a blessing and a curse
Discover dishonor with its thousand commands
It ain't worth a shot
That target is sand
She bought a wig
It was all scrunched up
Then she put it right on my shoe.
You're a crocodile,
That's what you are,
With a crooked smile
That I like so much,
You know I just can't think
No I just can't think
But I like the things we do
My partner in dismay
You don't have to feel this way,
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune,
This tune
This tune
No doubt one night the statues start to walk,
And maybe talk a little too,
We could run right out
And paint them green and gold
My partner in dismay
Don't like to feel this way,
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune,
This tune
This tune
Magic, just last night,
In a dream of course,
So sweet, you touched my knee,
I can't tell you now how good that felt
My partner in dismay
Don't like to feel this way,
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune,
This tune
This tune
My partner in dismay
Don't like to feel this way,
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune,
This tune
I could just sort of not be there
Know what I mean? Not be anywhere
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo
Crawl out a cage jump through a hoop,
Oh my gosh I'm living in a loop
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo
Empty on my bed
head In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world.
Sipping mint juleps out on the porch
for you my darling I'll always hold a torch
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo
Funny face on my cup
Watch my bubbling up
In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world, come and go
Seal my fate, ask my soul
In my world.
Such infatuation so great
I could just go jump in the lake
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo
In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world, come and go
Seal my fate, ask my soul
In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
Guess I need some education
Grab some whilst I have the chance to free
Twice upon a time hear yea hear yea hear yea
Plastic bow wow no can't remember... can't remember No...!
In my arms she's warm and smooth

Willi told me...
I have some wishes, you could say,
Sometimes I think to wish them all the way
Don't get me wrong, Sweetheart,
I think this world is grand
But certain things just don't pay.
No glamour for Willi
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line
No glamour for Willi
She says that's fine
So fine
So fine
So fine
I think to buy her something cool
She says, "Don't spend your cash on all that trash,
Don't be a fool.
My preferences, My Dear,
Are mostly half price,
A four-leaf clover
Might be nice."
No glamour for Willi
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line
No glamour for Willi
She's so fine

Torn Curtain reveals another play.
Torn Curtain, Such an expose!
I'm uncertain when beauty meets abuse.
Torn Curtain loves all ridicule.
Tears... tears rolling back the years
Years... Flowing by like tears.
Tears holding back the years.
Years. The tears I never shed.
The years I've seen before
Torn Curtain giving me the glance.
Torn Curtain bringing on the trance.
I'm not hurting: Holding to the thread.
Torn Curtain lifts me on the tread.
Torn Curtain feels more like a rake.
Torn Curtain - how much does it Take?
Burn it down
The docks
the clocks
a whisper woke him up
the smell of water
would resume.
the cave
the waves
of light the unreal night.
that flat curving
of a room.
Prove it... just the facts... the confidential
This case, this case, this case that i...
i've been workin' on so long...
first you creep
then you leap
up about a hundred feet
yet you're in so deep
you could write the Book.
Chirpchirp
the birds
they're giving you the words
The world is just a feeling
you undertook.
Remember?
Now the rose
it slows
you in such colorless clothes
Fantastic! You lose your sense of human.
Project
Protect
It's warm and it's calm and it's perfect
It's too "too too"
to put a finger on
I jump outa bed and pull down the shade
I used to have such sweet dreams – now it's more like an air raid.
I see the opposition clear – I see them stare
I don't care – it doesn't matter to me – I never think about it
Slip out of myself like a shadow and somersault thru walls
I can't tell, it's really so odd
Is this spring or fall?
Your wine is just sour grapes
Pour me a glass anytime I'm not there
Careful Careful
I'm not bitter I just get so sore
I need that girl more and more
Cuz when she whispers in my ear it gets so hard
It get's so hard to get out of bed
It's more than I can do.
If someone must work today, let it be you.
(Verlaine)
Soldier boy stands at a full salute.
He wants your orders to execute.
Send him out - 'neath the screaming red lights
In a narrow ditch for the funny fights.
Foxhole, foxhole too much danger
Where's my guardian angel - oh no
You show me the war, I don't know what for.
You show me the war but the war 's such a bore.
In the line of duty, in the line of fire
A heartless heart is my proper attire.
The flashing sword has been explored
The perfect slice - perfect slice of life.
I feel the shells hit - Moonlight web
Goodbye arms, so long, head.
No more danger
Hello guardian angel.
Pin me down, go ahead it's a cinch
You pin me down, you'll feel the pinch
I was trained for fights
Foxhole, foxhole
(Verlaine)
Now Little Johnny Jewel,
Oh, he's so cool,
He has no decision,
He's just trying to tell a vision.
Some thought that this was sad,
And others thought it mad,
They just scratching the surface,
JJ can do the floor kiss.
Was he on display?
No, no, not today.
All that guy ever said,
He said, "I want my little wing-head".
He half-asleep at night
Over his head, sensation of flight.
And he wake up dreaming,
Dreaming...
And he run down to the airport,
The rush, the roar,
And he crouched down behind a fence,
With a chest full of lights,
Then,
He loses his senses...
Oh Little Johnny Jewel,
He's so cool,
But if you see him looking lost
You ain't gotta come on so boss!
And you know that he's paid,
You know that he's paid the price,
All you gotta do for that guy
Tight toy night, streets were so bright.
The world looked so thin and between my bones and skin
there stood another person who was a little surprised
to be face to face with a world so alive.
I fell.
Didja feel low? No, not at all. Huh?
I fell right into the Arms of Venus de Milo.
I stood up, walked out of the Arms of Venus de Milo.
You know it's all like some new kind of drug.
My senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves.
Broadway looked so medieval -
it seemed to flap, like little pages:
I fell sideways laughing with a friend from many stages.
How l felt.
Suddenly my eyes went so soft and shaky.
I knew there was pain but pain is not aching.
Then Richie, Richie said:
"Hey man let's dress up like cops
Think of what we could do!"
But something, something said "you better not."
And I fell.
Didja feel low? Huh?
Do I, Do I?
belong to the night?
Only only
Only tonight.
All the ladies
Stay inside.
Time may freeze,
A world could cry.
All this night running loud
I hear the whispers I hear the shouts.
And tho they never cry for help...
Tell me who sends these
infamous gifts.
To make such a promise
and make such a slip.
Oh no
Can't pull a trick
Never the rose
Without the prick
But tell me how do I say?
I woke up and it was yesterday.
Do I again face this night?
Guiding Light. Guiding Light
Guiding thru these nights.
Darling Darling
Do we part like the seas? The roaring shell...
The drifting of the leaves...
All intent
Remains unknown.
It's time to sit up
Up on the throne.
It's seen before but it's always new.
So look close and see who's come thru.
Never again to face this night
Guiding Light, Guiding Light
Television, indecision,Keeps me on the floor
Frustration, medication,
Gets me out the door
I wanna show you this,
I'll spit it out somehow,
Its gonna make you pissed,
Cause you will see I'm better off now
Some nights the city lights shine
Like a tv show,
Some days I wanna skate but
The traffic breaks my flow
I wanna show you this,
I'll spit it out somehow,
Its gonna make you pissed
Cause you will see I'm better off now
(repeat)
[ooo, ooo, ooo]
I wanna show you this,
I'll spit it out somehow,
Its gonna make you pissed
Cause you will see I'm better off now
If you wanna laugh or cry
Don't spend your time and watch TV at half past nine
You won't believe it but it is something real
TV shows pretend at least to be fun
Oh yes, that's a good one!
Let's not pretend to each other
Let's put our cards face upwards!
Pathetical roles, forced smiles
It sucks! Where is fun?
Crawling for money and being humiliated
It doesn't seem so great
I know what you're gonna say, save your breath
How shameful leitmotif!
Fascination and things you just don't need
Whims, fancy and ambition dreams
You let anyone tread on you, where is now pride?
Ignorance and idle talk, that's all... That's all you can offer
You elate at triumph and burn with desire for
Material wishes, more comfort
You don't know better things to live for
Friendship, creativity and knowing yourself are only some of them
I apologise again
Time after time after time
The conversation drifts
In no general direction
And your aural love
Is keeping me from bed
And it's talking and talking
It's all you ever said
You know it's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want
You don't fool me, you don't fool me
No surprises, no surprises
Love in the hallway
Sex on the carpet
Antagonism rising
You know you try to categorise me
Because it's all you ever wanted
It's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want
But you're changing my love
'Cos all you want is - television!
No heart is infected
No damage is done
No cavity open
Nobody, no fun
They throw shit in your face
And you smile
They throw shit in your face
And you still come up smiling
You've got nothing to believe in
The diverse
The young and
The breathing
It's all you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
They say it's
All you want
All you want
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
You've got blasphemy with a smile
Insomnia sleeps with you nights
You've got commercial sex appeal
In sterile black and white
You're glorious colourless motion
From reel to reel you run
Nocturnal television
Internal sanctum
But it's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want - want
I bet you're changing my love
All I want is
Television
But you're changing my love
I said I don't want
Well but you're changing my love
'cos I don't want
It's television
All night and day
All night and day
All night and day
It's all you ever wanted
It's all you ever wanted
it's all you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
I wish I'd seen you
When you blew up
What seemed to be the whole world to you
I wish I woke up
When you were sad
I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
All alone in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
I wish I'd seen you
When you blew up
What seemed to be the whole world to you
All alone in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here
I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here
On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left
I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here ...
The elevator called me up.
She said you better start making sense.
The stone was bleeding, whirling in the waltz.
I went to see her majesty. The court had no suspense.
She said, "Dream dreams the dreamer."

Let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine
Let me take you through the empty space in my fire engine
If it gets too hot you know we'll cool it down with a rubber hose in my
fire fire fire engine
We'll be rolling through this hurricane in my fire engine
Pull a hook and ladder right through your brain in my fire engine
They keep saying I'm so hard to please, but tell me something
now I will get down on my knees in my fire fire fire engine
Let me take you through the empty place in my fire engine
Let me take you down a total disgrace in my fire engine
We'll go rolling down and look at all the flames
I was out stumbling in the rain staring at your lips so red
You said, "'Blah, blah, blah" you got a pillow stuck in your head"
How could I argue with a mirror
She looked at me. Yes, I hear her.
When I see the glory, I ain't gotta worry
She said, "There's a halo on that truck, won't you please get it for me?"
I said, "Of course my little swan, if ever and ever you adore me."
She got mad. She said, "you're too steep."
She put on her boxing gloves and went to sleep –
When I see the glory
You hurt my feelings with your chitter-chatter,
I know I listen, baby that don't matter,
I sit around,
I sit around,
Too scattered, too weak,
I know, and you know, I care,
You're so hard to please.
You're so
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
I must be a fool to give you any attention,
I know you're cruel, but your love's in suspension,
Yet there's something so right
About your folded hands,
That captures my heart,
Flows over me like sand.
You're so
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
I got to go, babe, no I don't know why,
My motion gets jammed and my thought is unkind,
Who called it like you called it -
A misalliance,
You know, you know babe,
I try, I try, I try, try...
'Cos you're
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
One day, I'm sure babe...
(Tell me why, tell me why)
One sweet day...
One day I'll see it... one sweet day...
I see it... see it there...
(Bob Dylan)
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(Hell)
I was sayin' let me outta here before I was even born,
It's such a gamble when you get a face,
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does,
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place.
I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.
Triangles were fallin' at the window as the doctor cursed,
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye,
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first,
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.
To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash,
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot,
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms tracks,
And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot
I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
Close your eyes,
And open your heart,
Believ in in yourself,
That's how it starts!
Dreams will come true,
Just wait and see,
Because the Magic's in you,
And the Magic's in me!
We are the Winx,
We are the Winx,
Come join the club!
We are the Winx,
We are the Winx,
We are the Winx!
Come join the club!
We are the Winx!
Magical flowers,
Digital powers,
Rythms and tunes,
The sun and the moon,
Magic shapes and shifting tides,
And the fire burning deep inside!
We've got the style,
And we've got the flair,
Look all you want,
Just don't touch the hair!
We are the Winx,
We are the Winx,
Come join the club!
We are the Winx,
We are the Winx'
We are the Winx!
Come join the club!

We did good on an inside job
But now I'm down to wait
No I can't get out.
But you could get across with ease
Dial 45... 41... oh oh oh
Call Mr Lee,
He'll know the code is broken,
Tell him the dog is turning red
Call Mr Lee
Just one little trip
and you're sweet for life
Help me out

You could get across with ease
Dial 45... 41... oh oh oh

He'll know the code is broken,
Tell him the dog is turning red
Turning red

But you could get across with ease
Dial 45... 41... oh oh oh

He'll know the code is broken,
Tell him the dog is turning red
Turning red

We shuffled our faces laughin' like fish
Really flip flappin' we had not wish
You said, "Look! The ceiling is down."
You said 5 times with that beautiful frown
Adventure I love Adventure
Adventure I need a new Adventure now
We laugh and we dance where the river once ran
Blinkin' our eyes ansdwavin' our hands
We jump in the water that never makes sense
So full of glee and so full o' suspense
Adventure
Air couldn't touch us as we lay on the wall...
Watchin' a play never playin' at all
Movin' through what we could not resist
Moved by a hand that was never a fist
What I want
I want now
and it's a whole lot more
than 'anyhow'
I want to fly
fly a fountain
I want to jumpjumpjump
jump a mountain

I see... I see no... I see no evil
I get ideas
I get a notion
I want a nice little boat
made out of ocean.
I get your point.
You're so sharp.
Getting good reactions
with your [BeBo] talk.
Don't say unconscious
No don't say doom.
If you got to say it
let me leave this room
Cuz what I want
I want now
and it's a whole lot more
than 'anyhow.'
I'm runnin wild with the one i love
I see no evil
I'm runnin wild with the one-eyed ones
I see no evil
Pull down the future with the one you love
(Verlaine)
The last word
Is the lost word
Why don't you say so
I sleep light
On these shores tonite
I live light on these shores
Elevation... don't go to my head
Now you give me no trouble
And you give me no help
It is the clown
That works so well
I sleep light on these shores tonite.
I live light on these shores.
Elevation don't go to my head
Our lips are sealed our breath is burning
These cold wild seas have left us turning
But I sleep light on these shores tonite
O rose of my heart, can't you see
I don't belong to misery
Though she speaks fine with subtle art
Such misery clothes the rose of my heart.
Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white
On a hill so white.
A face that glows in a golden hue
No-one in this world knows what they do
I take my oath and I make my vow
For the tender things are upon me now.
In the fragrance sweet of the evening air
I could leave this world quite without a care.
O rose of my heart, the vision dims
the time is brief, now the shadow swims,
A powerful a real fine hat
Cause that's for you and that's where that's at.
Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white.
O rose of my heart
O rose of my heart
Storms all that summer we lived in the wind, out in some room in the wind,
Your hands they were folded. You knew no demands.
My tongue, it clattered like tin, My eyes repeat. They take my seat.
Your eyes they say you resigned from the heat.
We leaned in the cold, holding our breath, watching the corners turn corners.
Coins on the table, the cards in the air, the face at the window kept smiling.
Storms all that winter we stayed locked away.
Waiting. Watching. Falling.
End of the street. Horizon retreats.
You ran with it. I wish I could.
Sleep is not sleep. My eyes repeat.
You take the voltage that watches you weep.
You caught the voice. I listen close.
All I heard was the echoes.
Praise emptiness.
Her rose-colored dress.
Her circling motions.
Praise emptiness.
Everything scattered, nothing was missed.
De Soto
Has a cool shark fin
My humble abode
Hey, uh, where I've been
Poochie Poochie,
No, no applause,
Four enchiladas, Senor,
Extra sauce...
Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, where you been?
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom!
Boom-boom!
Boom-boom!
Boom-boom!
I know it's stupid,
But what care I?
I got wheels that slide
Where you got a mind
You pink and blue
Shiny vinyl hardware,
And white socks too
Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, baby where you been?
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom!
Boom-boom! (yeah)
Boom-boom!
Boom-boom! (yeah)
Long before my time
And after too
This magnificent love
Me for you
They say it's folly
To pay and pay,
And you're no good,
I guess I like it that way
Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, baby where you been?
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom!
Crystal, hey where you been?
Boom-boom!
Boom-boom!
Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, baby where you been?
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom!
Boom-boom! (yeah)
Boom-boom!
